ICSI season is approaching rapidly. As mares approach the spring transition cycle (first heat), they will throw up the largest quantity of follicles and potentially the largest haul of oocytes of the year. This occurs in mid to late March through mid April. Regular scans and reporting to the clinic on numbers and sizes of follicles helps us book mares for aspiration sessions. If you are looking at this procedure for your mare, please contact the clinic for information

Conrad was a good man and a true friend to the horse. The equine community has lost another great veterinarian.

It is with heavy hearts we share the news of Conrad’s passing on January 20, 2025.

Conrad was the heart of Momentum, and this practice would not be what it is today without his vision, hard work and leadership.

Above all else, he was an exceptional dad and husband, and our support continues to be with the Wilgenbusch family during this difficult time.

Thank you for your support and patience as we navigate this season.

Service details to follow.

With the growth of advanced reproductive techniques such as ICSI, fresh and frozen equine embryos, we have been seeing an explosion of research in all areas of the mare including nutrition to make these procedures effective and maximize efficiency. Several groundbreaking studies are out there confirming the importance of nutritional supplements that are proven to contribute to success in the breeding shed. Aged mares ,especially , have increased conception , oocyte quality and embryo quality when on platinum supplements. All mares showed increases in pregnancy rates and subsequent foal health after supplemental platinum performance before breeding and throughout gestation. We recommend starting your mare on platinum performance approximately 3 months prior to ICSI, embryo transfer, fresh or frozen semen breedings.
