Clinical case of the weekMelody is a 9-year-old maiden mare that came to us with an history of poor fertility. The owners have been trying to recover an embryo or put her in foal for the past 3 years without any success. After a full fertility work up, Melody was treated for a deep bacterial endometrial infection in her uterus. Thanks to our team’s hard work, we are happy to announce that we are expecting 2 beautiful foals in 2025; one from embryo transfer and one carried by Melody herself. In the video you can see the heartbeat scan of the pregnancy that was performed this morning by our vet.If you have a barren mare that you may have struggled to put in foal, do not hesitate to contact us for help. Our team of experienced stud vets is always happy to assist you or your existing team by referral, and we look forward to the next challenge.

Clinical Case of the Week!

Everyone meets Emu! Emu was presented to us because she was born with a severe bilateral flexor tendon contracture, also known as ballerina syndrome, making her unable to stand up without assistance. Thanks to the help of our experienced stud vets this little lady was promptly treated with a high dose of oxytetracycline, used to relax the tendon contracture. The foal legs were also bandaged and a splint applied to distend the limb and help Emu to walk better. After weeks of hard work from our vet team in collaboration with the brilliant care of the team stud Emu bilateral flexor tendon contracture was resolved and the little girl is now running happily with her friends in the devon countryside.

Flexor and extensor abnormalities and limb deviations are more common than you think in newborn foals. If treated promptly they can be resolved with the help of an experienced vet and farrier to ensure that future sporting performance is not compromised.

Placentitis (infection/inflammation) of the placenta is one of the causes of late pregnancy abortion in mares. Signs of placentitis are premature development of udder, usually far away from the due date, ventral oedema and, in the worst cases, vaginal discharge. This pathology can be diagnosed with an ultrasonographic evaluation of the placenta. During this exam the vet will evaluate the dimension of the placenta and the presence of any free fluid in the cervical area. Placentitis can be treated with the use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and progestin. If your mare is showing any of the above symptoms do not hesitate to call your vet, the key to a successful treatment is early diagnosis of the disease.

Would you like to do embryo transfer, but you need recipient mares?

Here at EquiARTs our experienced team receives transported embryos from vets all over the Country.

How does this work?
1. Contact us to let us know you are looking to do embryos from your donor mare and you need recipient mares
2. Your stud vet will contact us to synchronize our recipient with your donor mare
3. Your vet will flush the embryo out of your mare, pack it and send it to us (see picture)
by a same day courier.

We will transfer it and one of our recipient mares will do the rest.
Here at EquiARTs, thanks to our vets experience, pregnancy results with transported embryos are outstanding, making this procedure more popular every year.

Did you know that embryos from your mare can be frozen?

Equine embryos are traditionally frozen at a very early stage to obtain good pregnancy rates. This means that the donor mares need to be flushed earlier than usual. A new technique, which entails the collapsing of the embryo, now allows successful freezing of larger embryos.

Here at EquiARTs we have all the equipment and skills to freeze your embryos no matter the size!

This week we are talking to you about embryo transfer

Embryo Transfer (ET) is an advanced reproduction technique widely used in sport horses around the world. ET is used to overcome poor fertility and to produce multiple pregnancies per year. Donor mares are inseminated either with chilled or frozen semen and then flushed between 7 to 9 days later. The retrieved embryo is then transferred in a synchronized recipient mare who will carry the pregnancy and nurse the foal until weaning.

EquiARTs Vets have been running a well establish ET program for years with pregnancy rate that are among the highest in the country. For any other information please do not hesitate to contact us.

12/04/2024

Artificial Insemination (AI) is the key to our job! Here at EquiARTs alongside standard AI we specialize in Deep AI with low volume of semen.

This service can be provided either with frozen, fresh, and chilled semen. A low volume of semen, as little as 0.5 ml, is placed by the vet at the tip of the uterine horn where the ovulation is occurring. This technique will reduce the chance of Post AI endometritis giving you the best chance of pregnancy and embryo retrieval in more problematic mares. Our team have years of experience in treating and dealing with mares that have poor fertility.

At EquiARTs we work alongside you to try to make your dream coming true. If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email.
