When it comes to breeding and foaling season, preparation is essential for success. Our "Techniques in Equine Reproduction" text book has been providing useful, accurate information to breeders, veterinarians, and equine science students for 30 years.

Based on the Equine Reproduction short course at the Colorado State University Equine Reproduction Laboratory, our book covers stallion and mare reproductive anatomy, physiology, and evaluation, semen collection, processing, evaluation, shipping, and insemination, preparing cooled and frozen semen, reproduction problems of the stallion and mare, broodmare management, pregnancy, and both normal and abnormal foaling scenarios.

This is our 7th edition, written by Patrick McCue, DVM, PhD, now expanded to 30 well-illustrated chapters designed to provide clear information and instruction for your breeding program.

It has come to our attention that curiosity about the contents of Equitainers has resulted in some containers being opened by shipping companies. ARS recommends shipping Equitainers inside boxes to eliminate the visual temptation to explore beyond the latched closed lid, and reduce wear and tear on the latches and hinges. Every Equitainer sold is shipped in its own box when it leaves ARS, so you'll already have a box that is the perfect size.

To order a tube-style Equitainer, or replacement isothermalizers, and freezer cans, go to our website:

Or give us a call at 1-800-300-5143, Monday - Friday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM PST

Sometimes a tried and true product comes through in an unexpected way. For years, ARS has trusted Tergazyme for effectively cleaning labware and latex AV liners. However, it also does a fantastic job cleaning solar panels!

This enzymatic detergent is designed to break down protein (semen, sm**ma, blood, tissue debris...), and rinses away quickly. Great for the repro lab, and also for cleaning bird droppings off of solar panels!

The concentrated formula requires only 3 Tablespoons of Tergazyme in a gallon of warm water. The 4 lb box can make up to 52 gallons of cleaning solution.

Tergazyme is now available in a plastic container, with a resealable flip-top lid for easy access, and improved sealed storage.

To order, go to our website at: https://www.arsequine.com/terg-a-zyme-detergent-powder
Or give us a call at 1-800-300-5143 or 1-909-364-1311. We're in the office Monday - Friday, from 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Pacific Standard Time

First time freezing a stallion? Have a stallion whose frozen semen isn't thawing well? Our E-Z Freezin Test Freeze Kits are designed to pinpoint the best extender for your stallion.

Our Standard Test Freeze Kit contains 4 different extenders to be used with 1 ej*****te sample. The kit comes complete with 2 packets each of our standard LE, standard MFR5, CryoMax LE, and CryoMax MFR5 extenders, 100 straws (25 each of 4 different colors), and instructions to freeze and evaluate your sample.
To order, go to our website at: https://www.arsequine.com/e-z-freezin-equine-semen-test...

Have a stallion that is proving to be a greater challenge with freezing? Our Advanced Test Freeze Kit provides 2 packets each of our CryoMax LE and CryoMax MFR5 extenders, as well as 2 packets each of the Formula 1 and Formula 2 variations of both of those extenders. The Formula 1 version does not contain glycerol. Formula 2 does not contain glycerol, and has a different cryo-protectant than the regular CryoMax or Formula 1 extenders, providing a smaller chain molecule to minimize cell damage during both the freezing and thawing stages.
