Here’s some good quality chilled Standardbred semen all the way from Aussie!
At EVRC we use iSperm technology to assess every semen sample we receive or collect on site. It’s great to have an objective measure on semen motility and concentration on hand every day of the week.
A huge Thankyou to Daniel Russell and Chris Russell for their hard work over winter building our beautiful new office!
Single 18 day pregnancy
Here’s the repeat scan today on the foal from our twin reduction video on Monday… now just a single, normal 18 day pregnancy!
63 day foetus
As promised… here’s a 63 day pregnancy scanned on Monday.
In this video you can see the foals head and even his little eye socket!
In the comments, another video shows the foals body, including a flash of his heartbeat if you look closely, the head and a front leg.
Also in the comments is a photo, showing the foals body to the left and head to the right, connected by his neck, where you can see the tiny vertebrae too.
I love my ultrasound, it’s such a useful tool! Alongside routine breeding work and mare and foal diagnostics, we offer foetal sexing and high risk mare monitoring. The latter is super useful if you have a mare with a history of problems during pregnancy.
Here’s a video of todays set of twins, sitting very close together! They were very carefully separated and one manually reduced.
Mare’s do not successfully carry and foal more than one pregnancy. 15 days is the best time to reduce twins to one healthy pregnancy for a variety of reasons. We have seen many sets of twins this season including several referred to us for reduction. As aways we take pride in providing a gold standard service and twin management is just one of the services we can help you with.
Stay tuned for another cool video tomorrow of another preg scan today…
