Artificial Insemination is more than just inseminating

The successful reproductive care of your mare involves disease control, ultrasound scanning, the detection and treatment of any problems and pregnancy diagnosis. Only a qualified Veterinarian can provide this full service.

The BEVA Approved AI list features Veterinary Practices who have met BEVA’s high standards. We recommend using a practice from the BEVA Approved AI list to maximise your mare’s chances of delivering a healthy foal.

BREEDING GUIDANCE

• You should not breed indiscriminately. 
• Both the mare and stallion should be proven in their field and have good conformation and temperaments. 
• Ideally, breed from registered stock. 
• Consider carefully what you will do with the horses you breed. 
• Bear in mind that it will cost a minimum of £1,000 per year to raise a young horse. Seek advice from your veterinary surgeon and well-established breeders before you embark on breeding a foal.
