Horse Breeding - Cedar Run Veterinary Services

A partnership between Bethphage Farm and Cedar Run Veterinary Services

has expanded our breeding services to include boarding of mares and foals

to provide fresh, cooled and frozen semen breeding management as well as

embryo recovery and processing for shipment. Board on the farm allows

Cedar Run Veterinary Services to provide optimally timed services to mares

being bred with frozen semen or mares requiring intensive intrauterine

therapies.

Cedar Run Veterinary Services maintains an office at Bethphage Farm and

is able to provide around the clock care. Bethphage Farm offers individual

pasture and stall space for mares being bred by Cedar Run Veterinary Services.

Exercise or rehab services are also available.

Stallion, shipping and pharmaceutical fees are not included and are the responsibility of the mare owner.

Embryo Transfer

Over the past few seasons, embryo transfer has become one of the most popular services offered by Cedar Run Veterinary Services. Embryos have been collected from 20+ year old World Champions through a 4 year old who is currently striving to become a World Champion. Embryo transfer has been a great option for breeders who have mares that are unable to carry foals to term due to career and age restraints.

Cedar Run Veterinary Services coordinates cycle management, semen shipment, insemination and embryo flushing to facilitate pregnancies in surrogate mares. Multiple commercial embryo transfer recipient herds are available for your embryos.
