🧬 ONE ASPIRATION. MORE THAN ONE POSSIBILITY.
One of the biggest differences between ICSI and traditional breeding is that an aspiration can result in multiple oocytes being recovered from a mare during the same procedure.
Those oocytes then begin their journey in the laboratory — maturation, ICSI, and embryo development. Not every oocyte will mature or become an embryo, and results vary from mare to mare, but when multiple embryos are produced, breeders suddenly have options.
You may choose to:
🐴 Transfer an embryo
❄️ Vitrify embryos for the future
🧬 Build an inventory from valuable genetics
📅 Plan future foals around your program
🏷️ Potentially market an embryo you don't plan to retain
At EquineIVF, embryos produced through ICSI can be vitrified and stored, giving breeders flexibility in deciding when and how those genetics are used.
ICSI isn't only about producing the next pregnancy. It can be about planning the next several years of your breeding program.
Have questions about whether ICSI could fit your program? We'd love to talk breeding with you.
