There are (at least!) six very good reasons to choose for Artificial Insemination. Don't hestitate to contact us with any questions you might have.

Six good reasons are:

• Disease control
  The stallion and mare have no physical contact. Therefor the risk of infection to the mare for contracting any form of veneral disease is greatly reduced.
• Less risk for the stallion
  Reduced risk of injury to the stallion, mare and handlers. Because the stallion doesn't mount a strange mare being kicked is avoided.
• Improved conception rate
  Semen can be stored and used at the time the closest to ovulation. Monitoring the mare whilst she is in season is vital to ensure that the insemination is timed correctly. When using chilled semen constant contact with the stallion owner is of great importance as this helps ensure that the semen arrives with the mare for insemination at the optimum time.
• More effective use of the collected semen
  The collected semen is diluted with nutrients and antibiotics and divided into portions in order to service more mares than only one. The semen can be checked more frequently for quality.
• Also for mares precluded from natural covering
  Mares that are more susceptible to post-covering uterine infections have a better chance of conceiving with artificial insemination. Also mares precluded from natural covering due to previous injuries can be artificially inseminated.
• Distance is of no importance
  By making chilled semen available from a stallion it is possible to make stallions accessible to mares based at some distance from them. For many mare owners the use of chilled or frozen semen can open up a whole new genetic base not previously available to them thus helping to improve their existing bloodlines.
