For the 2010 season our equine fertility team will be led by Ed Annand and Jonathan Withers. We have an "AI Package" which covers many of the costs for successful AI for your mare.
We hope to maintain the high conception rates that we have established over the last few years in both chilled and frozen AI.
What is included in the package?
- All routine scans including:-
Pre-insemination, this is essential for the optimal timing of insemination.
Post-insemination, this is required to check for correct time of ovulation and the presence of inflammation/infection which would decrease the fertility rate.
Pregnancy scans, recommended at 14, 28 and 45 days post-ovulation, or if twin ovulation, extra scans at 16 and 18 days to check for the presence of twins.
- Routine treatment including:-
Ovulation-induction agents, i.e. "Chorulon" and/or 1 "Ovuplant".
Routine antibiotic treatment for uterine infections.
Oxytocin to help minimize post-insemination uterine fluid.
- Swabbing procedures to investigate infertility but not external lab fees.
- Minor gynaecological surgical procedures, e.g. Caslicks.
- Sedation on up to three occasions, if necessary.
- Up to 7 days grass livery at the Equine Clinic for ease of optimal management. This livery can be split up between cycles, it is seldom necessary to have the mare at the Clinic for 7 full days during one cycle.
- All treatments and scans to be carried out at Crown Inn Farm. Alternative arrangements can be made, but there will be an additional visit charge.
- Up to two attempts at successive cycles.
- All paperwork and certification.
- Storage of frozen semen up to two months, thereafter a charge will be made.
Extra charges will be made for:
- Any visits (visit fee only will be charged).
- Third and subsequent cycles.
- External lab fees, e.g. CEM, EVA, EIA or uterine swabs for investigation of infertility.
- Livery beyond 7 days (separate table of charges available).
- Mares requiring more than 3 sedations for safe handling.
- Full livery will be available at a reduced price at £20 per day (inc vat).
- Post-foaling checks.
- Medical problems unrelated to the reproductive tract.
- Any form of surgery other than minor gynaecological surgery.
A live foal is not guaranteed but we will endeavour to do our best for each mare.
The cost to you is:
Use of fresh/chilled semen £340 + VAT
Frozen semen £400 + VAT
A discount of £50 is available if paid before start of package.
