Artificial Insemination (AI)

Rossdales is approved by the British Equine Veterinary Association to provide artificial insemination services (AI) with chilled and frozen semen for non-Thoroughbred stud farms and individual mare owners.

AI is not permitted for breeding Thoroughbreds. However, an increasing number of non-Thoroughbred horses are admitted to the hospital for this purpose. Mares are monitored frequently through their oestrous (heat) periods and are inseminated as close as possible to ovulation.
