Long post alert!

Thinking about trying ICSI (Intracytoplasmic S***m Injection) on your mare? Here is a list of some of the benefits to using this technique to obtain embryos.

- Your mare doesn't have to stay as long (a few days) making it ideal for show mares that need to stay in performance and on the road
- There is an increased chance of multiple embryos being generated in one session versus traditional embryo transfer is limited by the number of ovulations
- Could improve embryo production if your mare can no longer donate embryos via traditional embryo transfer
- Stallion sub-fertility issues can be bypassed
-Stallions that are deceased with limited frozen semen allows for more chances at a pregnancy as a limited amount of frozen semen is needed
-Can be done any time of the year, so you can generate embryos in the off season and freeze them for later transfer. This allows you to have the ability to choose your foaling time frame
- If a stallion's breeding contracts are full for the season, some ICSI contracts are likely still available and sometimes at a discounted rate!
- Some stallions have sexed semen available for ICSI

Call our office to learn more and to see if ICSI is the right breeding technique for your mare- (971)330-3459.

CT scans aren't just for scanning legs! Our machine will be able to scan heads and necks to find hidden issues that affect our four-legged friends.

There are some really exciting changes that are happening around Summit Equine! Clients who have visited recently have probably already noticed our new expansion. We are excited to announce the upcoming addition of a Qalibra Computed Tomography (CT) imaging system. Think 3D radiographs and more.

The Qalibra system is innovative with high detail soft tissue and bone imaging as well as the ability to allow the horse to be in different positions standing or lying down. Most of the other systems (MRI or CT) rely on the horse being under placed general anesthesia or are limited to specific regions like legs. In just seconds of scan time, this system is capable of hundreds of thin images showing great details in BOTH bone and soft tissue. Being able to do full limb or head scans while the horse is standing makes for a flexible system and availability within a standard appointment - faster than radiographs or an ultrasound but with far greater detail!! This setup will also be able to scan stifles, complete necks, and in some cases the pelvis.

Stay tuned for more updates on the addition of this advanced system!

Why do we inject multiple joints in the lower hock?

We frequently see patients with some degree of arthritic change or discomfort in their two lower hock joints- the centrodistal (commonly known as the distal intertarsal or DIT) and
tarsometatarsal (or TMT). Injecting hocks is a commonly recommended treatment for these horses, as injections can reduce inflammation, increase comfort, and improve performance.

When treating the lower portion of the hock, it is common for practitioners to inject only the TMT, anticipating the treatment will diffuse upward into the DIT. However, studies have
shown this is often not the case. The DIT can also be a harder joint to inject; imaging techniques are often recommended to ensure medication is properly entered into the joint. This is why Summit Equine uses radiographs to confirm needle placement for our hock injections.

If you think your horse needs hock injections or has any other sports medicine needs, contact us today to set up an appointment at (503) 682-3898!

Congratulations to Dr. Hinrichs' for her decades of hard work in this area of reproduction! Possibly some new exciting technology to come for the future of equine breeding!

For decades one of the most common methods used in equine-assisted reproduction has been stubbornly difficult to achieve – until now.

After a 30-year-long quest, Dr. Katrin Hinrichs, DVM, PhD, and her colleagues report in the journal Biology of Reproduction a major achievement in equine reproduction: a conventional IVF technique with a 90% fertilization rate.

This new method has resulted in the birth of three healthy foals and has opened the door to new insights into the basic biology of horse reproduction.
