ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Using Artificial insemination is becoming much more popular in this country now with many vets now experienced in the technique. For information there is a list of practices on the BEVA web site that have self certified for AI. The other alternative is to use an AI technician. To practice they must have undertaken a DEFRA approved course and passed the exam. They will then be registered to practice. It is now against the law for anyone other than Vets or DEFRA approved AI technicians to AI a mare. I have listed below several site of interest for you to gather more information.
We have a DEFRA registered AI Technician on site qualified in November 2001
