What You Need To Know - What is a clone? When we talk about cloning, most people immediately think of Dolly the sheep or sci-fi movies where scientists make identical copies of humans.

This examination involves a multifaceted approach to ensure the reproductive health of your equine: Ultrasound of the Ovaries: Our ultrasound technology provides an in-depth view of your mare's ovarian health, monitoring follicular development, and detecting any anomalies that could impede successful conception. Uterine and/or Clitoral Swab: We conduct swab examinations to inspect the health of the reproductive tract, identifying potential infections or irregularities that could compromise fertility. Palpation/Visualisation of the Cervix: Our experienced veterinarians and horse breeders employ advanced palpation and visualisation techniques to examine the cervix, uncovering tears, adhesions, or structural concerns that might affect fertility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f88ea5eeb2dc3f26adf26e/90986b98-29c2-4bf8-8a09-781d3a307d76/_A739845.jpg SERVICES - STALLION COLLECTIONS & Artificial Insemination - “AI” Artificial insemination is the deliberate introduction of sperm into a female's cervix or uterine cavity for the purpose of achieving a pregnancy through in vivo fertilisation by means other than sexual intercourse or in vitro fertilisation.

Our team of equine breeder specialists oversees every step of the process, from insemination to the final transfer, guaranteeing the utmost care for your valuable mare and the resulting embryo. With Catalina's embryo transfer services, you can have confidence in the precision of our procedures and the potential for expanding your breeding program with the finest genetics available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f88ea5eeb2dc3f26adf26e/9325269c-33f2-46f0-b27c-526fed1849f8/ICSI SERVICES - Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection - “ICSI” The process involves collecting oocytes (eggs) from a donor mare’s follicles, these oocytes are then cultured in the lab until they have matured. Once mature, the oocyte is fertilised in our laboratory via micro-injection of a single sperm cell. The fertilised oocyte should start to divide to become an embryo and the blastocyst stage of development is reached after 7-10 days of culture in an incubator. The embryo can then be transferred into the uterus of a suitable recipient mare or vitrified (frozen) for future use. Oocyte pick up - “OPU” Oocyte retrieval is a procedure in which eggs are taken from a mare’s ovaries. It is one of the steps in the Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection - “ICSI” process. For more information about “ICSI,” please click here, or review the ICSI Information sheet below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f88ea5eeb2dc3f26adf26e/c28822f4-8987-4476-b391-9082675bada5/lab+pic+8.jpeg SERVICES - HORSE CLONING Cloning in its most simple definition is making a genetic copy of the original animal.
