EMBRYO TRANSFER
Carmyle Vets provides Embryo Flushing and a Transfer Services
Embryo Flushing & Transfer
Dr. Al Simson provides an embryo flushing and transfer services at Carmyle Vets. This process involves setting up the donor mare, inseminating, then seven to eight days after ovulation the mare will be flushed for an embryo. If the mare has conceived and an embryo is present, the embryo is transferred into a recipient mare. Seven days after transfer, the recipient mare will be scanned to see if she has taken the pregnancy.
There are many factors involved in this process; having the donor mare set up correctly, handling the embryo properly as not to damage, and having a suitable recipient mare to accept the embryo and carry on the pregnancy. At Carmyle, you can expect our experienced team to give your mare the best possible chance through diligent preparation and an excellent recipient herd. Dr. Simson has vast experience in this area, and a technique that yields results.
We can set-up and inseminate the mares in-house, or clients may wish to have their mares inseminated elsewhere and bring the donor mares and recipient mares to Carmyle to be flushed and embryos transferred. During the 2014/15 season Dr. Simson settled over 115 Carmyle recipient mares with embryo pregnancies, having an over 90% embryo transfer success rate for most of the season. During the 2016/17 season 170 Carmyle recipient mares were settled with embryo pregnancies.
We also work with vet clinics to receive shipped embryos to transfer into Carmyle recipient mares and we have had good success so far.
