Theriogenology (Reproduction)

Equine

Fertility evaluation
Semen cryopreservation (freezing)
Collection and preparation of semen for fresh cooled semen, including those stallions requiring special handling such as centrifugation to maintain fertility We have a breeding phantom and an ovariectomized mare that allows us to collect semen from almost any stallion at any time.
We have a computer-assisted semen analyzer, including phase contrast microscopy and fluorescence microscopy (state-of-the-art analysis) that enables us to objectively analyze multiple factors of sperm motility and use live/dead stains.

Fertility evaluation
Breeding management, including natural cover, artificial insemination with either fresh, cooled or frozen semen
Embryo collection and transfer or shipping to recipient location
Full capabilities for embryo collection and transfer or shipping
Pregnancy diagnosis
Assisting with problems during pregnancy or at foaling
Assisting with difficult foalings
Endoscopy (low dose insemination)—allows insemination with a very low dose of semen, for example with frozen semen or stallions with low sperm count
Laser surgery capability
Transvaginal ultrasound probe for oocyte collection, twin reduction--allows us to perform assisted reproduction for techniques including follicular aspiration and oocyte collection; also provides the capability to perform twin reduction at a later stage of gestation than usually can be accomplished by manual crushing
Laparoscopic surgery capability––less invasive method of performing assisted reproductive procedures such as GIFT (gamete intrafallopian transfer) and transfer of in vitro produced embryos
