Reasons for freezing embryos include the preservation of genetics, global import or export, the storage of embryos for transplantation at a later date or the possibility of working with a carrier mare.
We use a variety of freezing methods:
You may choose to flush the donor mare on day 6 or 7 instead of day 8 to prevent the embryo from being too large for freezing.
Gestation results after transplanting frozen embryos are lower than after transplanting fresh embryos: expect gestation rates of 60-70%.
We have the necessary knowledge for transplanting ICSI embryos even if they were not produced by us. When transferring ICSI embryos, a gestation rate of 75% at 14 days gestation can be expected.
Before our veterinarians perform any procedures on your horse, you must have read and signed the health declaration and framework agreement below for approval.
