Why use Artificial Insemination
From our own experiences of using A.I the benefits that we have found include.
Blaenllain Doodleba is tested, and is clear from CEM & EVA. These are both highly contagious
STD.
Although all our mares are tested and clear from CEM & EVA it was our choice to have them
tested rather than compulsory. A growing amount of stallion owners require your vet to have
tested you mare to be clear from CEM & EVA, before going to stud for natural covering.
Your valuable mare and possibly young foal wont have to travel from your home, your own vet
should be able to inseminate your mare. This is less stressful for mares and foals and worried
owners.
You will not have to arrange and pay for transportation to and from stud, quite often mares stay
at stud for up to 6 weeks to make sure she’s held to the stallion. The keep & grooms fees as
well as the transport can soon add up a large bill separate to the stud fee.
As your mare doesn’t have to leave your yard, she has less chance of injury and disease.
Can help reduce the risk of mares reabsorbing due to stress & infection.
Suitable for mares with back injuries, that can’t take the weight of a stallion.
No risk of the stallion picking up an STD, and possibly passing it on to mares he’s covered.
Reduces the risk of injury to all horses and handlers.
All the semen is evaluated; with natural covering it is very difficult to assess the quality of the
semen. With AI as all the semen is evaluated you will have a very good idea as to how good the
sample is that you are inseminating into your mare.
You can send your mare to a specialised yard for the insemination.
One of Bart’s Mares. (Lady)
One of the mares we inseminated last year was a 17 y. o maiden Mare. Due to her age the
linings of her vagina and cervix could be thinner and more delicate than a younger mare. With
natural covering she could have had these linings damaged and therefore might then increase
the risk of infection. This would have been very unpleasant for the mare and possibly affect her
fertility and the owner would have had a vets bill. Also due to her age she didn’t have the added
stress of a stallion ‘s weight on her back while been covered. The mare was inseminated just the
once with Bart’s sperm. She was scanned in foal and had her baby in June. This particular mare
can get very stressed and upset, which possibly wouldn’t have helped her to conceive with a
natural covering. As she was done using A I she remained relaxed and calm throughout.
