What is Embryo Transfer?
An embryo from one mare, fertilized usually by Artificial Insemination is
placed into another mare whose ovulation cycles have been
synchronised. The recipient mare then carries the foal as a
surrogate mother. The foal’s genetics are derived from the
donor mare and the stallions and not the recipient which
merely takes the foal through to weaning.
