There are (at least!) six very good reasons to choose Artificial Insemination.
Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions you might have. You might find our frequently asked questions helpful too.

1. Disease control
   The stallion and mare have no physical contact. Therefore the risk of infection to the mare for contracting any form of veneral disease is greatly reduced.
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
3. 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.
   
   
4. 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.
   
   
5. 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. Ideal for those that just won’t stand. (for the stallion)
   
   
6. 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.
