Horse Fertility Expert
Create the optimal horse fertility solution for your stallion or mare.
Stallion Fertility
Stallion fertility is one of the most lucrative areas of business for all major breeding operations. Small increases or decreases in fertility parameters have significant consequences on financial outcomes for all involved.
There are few things more frustrating for stud and stallion managers and breeders than a stallion with fertility and/or libido issues. At Optim Equine we work to address the reasons why a stallion may be experiencing fertility challenges, in addition to providing safe and effective solutions.
Optim Equine has extensive experience in stallion breeding and management practices, with proven successful results in significantly improving stallion fertility rates. The approaches taken also promote the overall health and longevity of the stallion.
Demonstration of equipment used to analyse stallion semen.
Using the latest technology, we are able to analyse semen on site. Our equipment allows for fast and accurate screening to help identify any issues with semen that may be contributing to fertility challenges. This is combined with our comprehensive review of dietary, supplement, medication and management practices- all which are known to influence semen parameters and fertility.
Each stallion is unique and the causes of sub-optimal fertility and libido are individual. Treatment should always be targeted at the components of poor fertility: in many cases, the treatments employed will differ depending on the following factors:
- Age
- Shuttling history (if applicable)
- Libido
- Sperm motility
- Sperm morphology
- Sperm count
- Gel portion of semen
- Testosterone levels
- Health history of the stallion

Problem Pregnancy Mares
Failure to conceive and pregnancy loss at any stage of gestation are costly, time-consuming outcomes in the broodmare.
Without adequately addressing the causes of failure to go in foal and pregnancy loss, vets, stud-managers, and owners are left with frustrating and disappointing consequences. In the event that the mare does carry the pregnancy full term, the resulting foal is often disappointedly small, sub- par or of compromised health.
Optim Equine gets to the bottom of the reasons why your mare is not getting in foal or maintaining her pregnancy, and provides effective solutions to address this. Whilst many mares with breeding challenges suffer from similar issues regarding their failure to conceive or maintain a healthy pregnancy (for example placentitis, endometritis, recurrent infections), treatment plans need to be customised to the individual mare in order to achieve the best pregnancy outcome. A blanket treatment approach to any health condition in the horse generally fails to adequately address all factors contributing to the problem and often results in disappointing outcomes.
Optim Equine ensures each mare’s unique case is adequately addressed: thus treatment and detailed plans are unique to each mare.
Optim Equine provides speciality services to ensure your mare is in optimal reproductive and overall health- giving her the very best chance to conceive, grow, deliver and nurse a healthy foal. This in turn gives each foal the optimal start to life, playing a vital role in helping them to realise their full athletic potential.
