Sunshine Coast Artificial Insemination station

         

Artificial insemination is fast becoming the preferred method of breeding for performance sport horses for so many reasons.

One very important reason is that it reduces the risk of injury to mares and stallions.

 
         
 
 
 
 
         

1. After arrival the mare can be used to tease the stallion in front of the teasing area (A)
2. The mare (when in season) will be taken to the middle area of the station and washed
and prepared. (D)
3. The mare is then moved into the crush (E). There is plenty of room next to the crush
in case a foal is with the mare.
4. At the same time the stallion or visiting outside stallions are washed at the washing bay (B)
5. Then the stallion is moved through the separate stallion paddock to the stallion area (C)
6. In good view and smell of the mare, the stallion is led to the prepared mount (F)
7. The mount is a top of the range latest design with internal vagina (G), which makes the
the whole process safe and easy.
8. After ejaculation, the stallion is lead away to the stallion paddock, or in the case of our own stallion
back to the stables.
9. The A.V. Is removed from the mount, and the semen is evaluated and prepared in the lab (H)
10. The mare is then inseminated and then released from the crush (E).
11. The mare is walked for ten minutes in the walking area (G) to avoid expulsion of semen.
12. When the semen is transported (nation wide) it is extended, chilled, packed (K) and transported.

in most cases the penis has no problem in
entering.
