Horse artificial insemination is a breeding method applied to breed mares without copulation. It entails collection of semen from a stallion followed by manual introduction of the semen into the mare's reproductive system by use of specialized equipment. Horse artificial insemination supports selective breeding, genetic diversity, and breeding program management. Animal artificial insemination is extensively practiced in breeding farms and veterinary clinics because it is safe, efficient, and can transcend geographical as well as physical distance between horses.

Equine Artificial Insemination Market Trends

Developments in equine artificial insemination are driving the huge growth by enhancing breeding results and genetic quality. Technologies like chilled and cryopreserved semen, embryo transfer, and advanced techniques like intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), ovum pick-up (OPU), and semen sexing are found to increase reproductive success rates. These technologies had made it possible to select desirable characteristics, higher fertility rates, and improved offspring quality.

  • In article 'Equine Pregnancy Rates After In Vitro Embryo Freezing', equine embryos generated in a laboratory through intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) have been known to achieve pregnancy levels of about 70%. This unprecedented success has also fueled interest in these cutting-edge techniques, thus broadening the practice. Correspondingly, according to the Veterinary Practice magazine report, one of the biggest centers within the EU providing ICSI (Italy), the number of ICSI cycles performed doubled from around 1,000 in 2017 to 2,000 in 2019.

Therefore, increasing awareness over transmitted disease control, growing breeding fundings along with the rising demand for cryopreserved semen are factors that are augmenting the market demand.
