The Future Of Equine Breeding Embryonix Ph: 1300 488 688 |
Set to Revolutionize
Equine Production
 The Future isn’t What it Used to Be! We live in competitive times. Particularly for horse breeders. Change has now come to equine reproduction and Embryonix with it’s revolutionary embryo freezing, transfer and storage service is the reason for this change. For more than 20 years veterinarians have been able to inseminate mares, flush their embryos, and transfer them immediately into a recipient mare. However, embryo transfer suffers from several setbacks. Whilst the birthday for horses has been artificially set 1st August, the vast majority of quarter horse mares in Australia do not start to ovulate regularly until October. As a consequence, owners try to manipulate their mares reproductive cycle so that they are not born late in the season, often at great financial expense with limited success.  Breed When it Suits Your Training Program Using state of the art, human cryogenic equipment Embryonix are able to flush and then carefully freeze an equine embryo. It is then preserved in liquid nitrogen at minus 196 degrees celcius where it can be kept indefinitely or until the owner chooses to have it implanted. Elite mares that are in work can be flushed at a time that is suitable to their training and competition schedule, not based around the breeding season. |
 More August Foals Embryo Freezing lets you take advantage of your mares’ most fertile periods from October through to May. This allows Embryonix to breed and freeze multiple embryos which can be implanted the following season in September thus having August born foals. Embryonix’s surrogate mares are rugged and placed under lights in July to ensure they will be ready to be implanted in September. Being born in August is a huge advantage. 
Protects Your Mare’s Genetics Previously it was only stallions’ genetic material that could be easily stored indefinitely but now Embryonix’s commercialisation of embryo freezing opens up the option of being able to store the mare’s genetic material. There are numerous advantages such as being able to sell an embryo from elite mares without having to place it into a reciprient mare. It also allows you to retain a mare’s genetics prior to her sale. Storing her genetics as an insurance policy as the mare ages or freezing a second embryo when multiples are obtained duting a single flush. Embryo freezing also protects your mare’s genetics in case she becomes infertile, or dies. No amount of insurance can replace the loss of your mare but embrypo freezing and storage means you will be able to preserve your female’s genetics indefinitely. |
Why Should the Studs
Make all the Money? Embryo freezing, storage and implanting not only allows you to protect your future breed program, it also gives you the opportunity to profit from selling your mare’s frozen embryos or you can sell her eggs, which Embryonix can fertilise and implant. Our comprehensive website allows interested buyers to purchase your mares’ frozen embryos, it also features your frozen embryo’s pedigree, together with photographs and performance details of your donor mare. Once ordered, embryos can be implanted and the surrogate transported to the purchaser. So instead of the males making all the money and a name for themselves, now your mares can do the same for you!
