High Quality Reproduction Services
Stallion owners can rest assured that their stallions will reach their full breeding potential through many of the stallion management services Peacock Equine Reproduction Center offers such as:
- Breeding Soundness Exams: A stallion evaluation includes two semen collections an hour apart allowing each ejaculate to be evaluated for volume, motility, concentration and total sperm numbers. To assess bacterial growth, a set of cultures is taken from the prepuce, urethra and semen following each collection. Morphology slides are also made to assess structural integrity of the sperm cells. Lastly, the stallion’s testicles are palpated and evaluated for consistency, conformation, orientation and size. Once all results are gathered, a full report is presented to the stallion owner which provides descriptive details of the findings. The report makes recommendations on breeding procedures and the general suitability of the stallion as a breeding individual
- Training to Phantom: A phantom is an inanimate object that a stallion mounts so semen may be collected by directing the stallion into an artificial vagina. By utilizing this, you eliminate the need for a mare in season. It also reduces the potential for injury and disease transmission inherent in live cover breedings. Most stallions can be trained to use the phantom within a one week period. When adequately trained, stallions retain what they’ve learned so at any point in the future a phantom can be used without hesitation.
- Complete Semen Analysis and Evaluation: Semen collection for previously phantom trained stallions. Evaluation consists of samples from 1 to 2 ejaculates that are cooled for 24, 48, and if appropriate 72 hours in semen extender with or without antibiotics. Once there is a firm understanding of semen longevity, then recommendations are made as to the most suitable extender for shipping the semen.
- Cooled and Frozen Semen Processing and Storage: Carefully monitored semen handling and storage. Peacock Equine Reproduction Center is a USDA certified frozen semen quarantine facility for Australia, New Zealand and the European Commonwealth.
- Haul-in Semen Collection and Shipments by Appointment: Offered to stallion owners who live within a few hours and prefer to keep their stallion at home, but want the best in equine reproduction services that Peacock Equine Reproduction Center provides.
