Utilising the latest techniques in ultrasonography, treatment, and specialized reproductive techniques when necessary, our team of dedicated and experienced veterinarians endeavor to make the often-difficult process of equine reproduction a simple one.
Our veterinarians are experienced in all aspects of equine reproduction. We offer a wide range of services including breeding soundness exams for the mare and stallion, artificial insemination (fresh or frozen), pre and post-service evaluation and treatment of broodmares, twin management, and advice on pregnancy management, maintenance and monitoring.
Our team offer a prompt “on farm” service or your horse may be brought into our hospital facility. During the foaling season our team is on call 24 hours a day for foaling assistance or advice.
I highly recommend Vet Associates for their breeding services. Their reliability and meticulous attention to detail have been invaluable, allowing me to achieve multiple successful pregnancies through embryo transfers and more importantly healthy foals. The team is always there when I need them, and they even went above and beyond to source vital recipient mares for me.
Starting with the right mare is one of the keys to successful breeding. At the start of the breeding season, mares should be in good body condition but not overweight, and should be up to date with their vaccinations, deworming, dentistry, and farriery.
Scheduling frequent night checks can be an important part of making sure the foaling is attended. The foaling process is divided into three stages.
It is easy to forget that broodmares require year-round management to remain healthy, produce a healthy foal, & be in good condition. Read on.
At birth, there is also a timeline of important events which will help you make a preliminary assessment of the foal’s health.
We are open Mon-Fri – 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM for routine appointments and 24/7 for emergency care.
