Article Synopsis
- Assisted reproduction technologies (ART) are improving in the equine industry, primarily through ovum pick up (OPU), allowing mares to provide many oocytes despite not being superovulated.
- After collecting oocytes, fertilization occurs via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), enabling high pregnancy rates even with lower quality stallion semen and successful embryo cryopreservation.
- A 10-year analysis from Avantea reports that OPU-ICSI yields an average of 1.7 to 2 embryos per procedure, with a 70% pregnancy rate and over 50% foaling rate, boosting embryo commercialization among horse breeders.
