A Well-Educated Staff Increases Your Success Rate with Transported Semen
Breeding with Transported Semen requires some homework on the part of the stallion owner, mare owner and veterinarian. There are many facets involved and just one error can mean the difference between a mare in foal and an open mare.
To help you understand what is required on both the stallion and mare side of the equation, HRI offers two handbooks:
Transported Semen Handbook for the Stallion Owner and Veterinarian Retail Price: $10.00
The Transported Semen Handbook for the Stallion Owner and Veterinarian is an easy to understand guide that explains the Equitainer system and provides a step-by-step processing the semen for shipment in the Equitainer. In addition, helpful information about common problems encountered, recommended equipment and a suppliers list are given. For a full listing of the table of contents, please click here.
Transported Semen Handbook for the Mare Owner
