I offer assistance with many aspects of breeding and pregnancy diagnosis and am happy to help you develop a breeding plan that suits your personal management needs.

The range of mare reproductive services includes:

• Artificial insemination
• Palpation of the reproductive tract
• Pregnancy diagnosis, examination and monitoring
• Ultrasonography for precocious pregnancy diagnosis or for diagnosis of uterine pathologies

I can also provide thorough care during pregnancy, including:

• Fetal and placental monitoring
• Nutritional counselling
• Pre-foaling vaccination and deworming

In a perfect world, the vet should be aware of the moment of parturition, so that he is able to intervene more rapidly if necessary. I always recommend an evaluation of both mare and foal or even that the vet is present in order to minimize the risks associated with problematic births, placental retention, mammary infections, and deficient proprioception of the foal and in order to check the quality of passive immunity.
