Stallion Collection Unit -

The Heritage Coast Stud can now offer its consideable experience with Stallion management and AI to outside customers.

The new Stallion Collection Unit has been set up at the Valley Farm location offering a quiet and quarantined location for outside stallions to come for dummy training, semen collections and semen evaluations.

The brand new lab, with the latest technology to ensure accurate and high quality semen preparation for distribution, is located directly next to the collection room. This reduces damage to the collected sample from temperature shock and light damage ensuring the best results.

Jane Marson, who manages the unit, qualified from Nottingham University with a BSc degree in Animal Sciences specialising in manipulation of reproduction in her final year. During which time she had lab experience in semen evaluation. She later went onto become DEFRA accredited as a recognised Equine Artificial Inseminator (registered under her maiden name of Skepper)

After collecting from the stud's own stallions and wanting to offer the service to other stallions competing in the East side of the country it was decided to develop a stand alone Stallion Collection Unit.

Officially the unit will be open for the 2009 season but we have already taken in a few outside stallions this season for Dummy mare training and collections.

We are offering Dummy mare training, semen evaluation, semen collections and preparations for fresh,chilled for 2008 and frozen from 2009.
