Embryonix - Artificial Insemination
Chilled and Frozen Semen Set Prices - Comparing Prices
Embryonix includes most druygs and procedures when breeding your mare at the clinic, actually it
is very unusual to have any extras. Therefore
when comparing prices, ovulatory drugs are
expensive but we include them in our fee
structure, this eliminates add-ons.
What is included: The set fee includes all follicle
testing, post ovulation scanning and artificial
insemination. The semen is also warmed in an
incubator and examined and graded for percentage
alive and progressive motility. It also includes most
reproductive drugs including prostaglandin,
Ovuplant or Chorulon, and Oxytocin.
Post ovulation infusions with saline containing
antibiotics or plasma are included.
All disposables used are included in the fee,
including non-spermicidal syringes and AI pipettes.
Also included is organization for the delivery
to the clinic of chilled semen.

What is not included:
There are a few drugs which are used
infrequently and are not therefore included in the price, for example systemic antibiotics and regumate.
Also sedation of difficult mares is
not included. The reason for this
is that they are not routinely used
therefore it would be unfair to the
majority of mare owners to incur
expense for these when used in
such few cases. The set fee does
not include pregnancy testing, any
swabs or uterine biopsies, caslick
operations or investigations of
infertility. Semen transportation
is arranged but the cost of the
transport is not included nor is
the return of any semen shippers.
Chilled Semen Embryonix is located only 2 hours south of
Sydney Airport and has a courier returning 4 times
a day from the Airport which makes it easy to arrange
chilled semen from all over the country and New Zealand. A set fee per cycle is charged, plus agistment. |
Frozen Semen
We do not perform set time inseminations ie treating a mare with Ovuplant and then inseminating 36 hours later regardless of her follicle. To maximize our conception rates we ultrasound the mare at least every 6 hours which means that all mares are scanned at 11pm and 5am, once ovulation is close we will scan every 1-2 hours which allows insemination very close to ovulation. A set fee is charged per cycle plus agistment. A relatively newer procedure associated with frozen semen insemination is the use of low dose insemination. This allows more inseminations per dose of semen and is ideal when there is a limited amount of semen. This technique involves placing the semen dose onto fallopian tubes. This procedure is added to the price of each cycle.
