Step Into the Future of Equine Reproduction.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) fertilizes donor mare eggs with a single sperm, offering a solution for mares with reproductive challenges or stallions with poor quality or limited semen. Avantea’s ICSI program, in partnership with the Peterson Smith Advanced Fertility Center, combines cutting-edge technology and expertise to develop embryos for transfer or freezing. We produce an average of two viable embryos per aspiration, higher than the national average, and can store unused embryos indefinitely, allowing for maximum flexibility and future breeding opportunities. Since 1999, we have successfully recovered and transferred over 4,000 embryos. Our program is designed to maximize efficiency and minimize costs for our clients.

Benefits of ISCI

• Lower Overall Costs: Managing mares with uterine issues, ovulation problems, or those requiring multiple breeding and flushing cycles can be expensive. ICSI provides successful results at a fraction of the cost.

• Reduced Veterinary Interventions: Traditional methods often require extensive veterinary care, with repeated breeding attempts and interventions. ICSI eliminates the need for prolonged treatments by achieving fertilization with a single, well-timed session.

• Time-Saving for Performance Mares: Show mares benefit from ICSI’s one-time procedure, which fits into their busy schedules without the disruption of multiple breeding cycles, allowing mares to stay focused on their athletic careers.

• Improved Fertility: ICSI consistently delivers high success rates, particularly for mares that struggle to conceive using traditional methods, improving fertility outcomes overall.

• Faster Return on Investment: With fewer resources spent on challenging mares, ICSI provides breeders with a quicker, more efficient return on investment, leading to better results in less time.
