On 23rd January GeneTech UK hosted a CPD for vets here at our site in Devon. Participants observed demonstrations in OPU, ICSI embryo thawing and embryo transfer. This was such an exciting and informative CPD, that along with our partners at Equine Reproductive Services https://www.facebook.com/ERSUK we are offering the same CPD at their practice in Yorkshire. Date to be confirmed, so watch this space.

Does performing OPU on my mare affect her future fertility?

A couple of common questions we get about the OPU (O**m Pickup) process is: Do mares have a finite number of oocytes, and can OPU shorten their reproductive lifespan?

๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ๐˜ด ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜–๐˜—๐˜œ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆโ€™๐˜ด ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ!

Here's why:
โœ…Yes, mares are born with a finite number of oocytes and these remain microscopic within the ovarian tissue. As a mare cycles, a small group of these oocytes are โ€œrecruitedโ€ to grow, but only one is mature enough to ovulate. The remaining regress naturally and die off.

โœ…With OPU and ICSI (Intracytoplasmic S***m Injection), weโ€™re able to harvest all of the available oocytes in one session - meaning no oocytes go to waste. Plus, OPU doesnโ€™t harm or impact the remaining microscopic oocytes in the ovaries; they stay dormant and ready for future cycles.

Is ICSI a good option for my mare?

โœ… Do you have challenges in successfully flushing embryos out of your mare? -YES

โœ… Is your stallion of choice โ€œโ€ICSI Onlyโ€โ€? -YES

โœ… Would you like to freeze and/or transfer multiple embryos out of your mare? -YES

โœ… Is your mare currently in training or still competing and offering extended time off for breeding is not ideal? -YES

If you answered โ€œYESโ€ to any of the questions above, then ICSI may be a great option, or even the only option based on your stallion selection. Give us a call at GeneTech UK to discuss your ideas.

Thinking about embryo cryopreservation? Hereโ€™s why ICSI puts you miles ahead:
๐Ÿ”น Protect Your Best Genetics โ€“ Freezing embryos lets you preserve elite bloodlines for future breeding.
๐Ÿ”น Breed on Your Schedule โ€“ Collect and store embryos anytime. No stressing over breeding seasons as you can plan OPU when it suits your mare and your calendar.
๐Ÿ”น More Flexibility for Transfers โ€“ Freeze now, transfer later. Take your time choosing the perfect recipient mare with the ideal cycle.

ICSI vs. Traditional Flushing
When it comes to freezing, stage matters.
Traditional flushing collects embryos from the mare without precise control as early-stage development canโ€™t be pinpointed, meaning embryos may be too big or too fragile to freeze effectively.

ICSI flips the script. With lab-grown embryos, you can freeze them at the exact optimal developmental stage, giving you:

โœจ Better-quality embryos
โœจ Reduced risk
โœจ Higher success rates

Future-proof your breeding programme one perfectly timed embryo at a time. Call us at GeneTech UK to discuss your plans ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’ซ

โœจ Festive Greetings from GeneTech UK! โœจ

Our embryologists are signing off for a well-earned break after a brilliant year of creating equine embryos. We can't thank you enough for your partnership and support.

๐ŸŽ„ Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! ๐ŸŽ„

We'll be back, ready and excited to receive oocytes from 7th January 2026. Here's to another year of making breeding dreams a reality!

โœจ What is ICSI in equines?
Intracytoplasmic S***m Injection (ICSI) is an advanced equine reproductive technique in which a single s***m cell is injected directly into a mature oocyte (egg).

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ Who performs ICSI?
ICSI is carried out by highly trained equine embryologistsโ€”specialists experienced in micromanipulation, embryo culture, and equine reproductive physiology.

๐Ÿ’ก Why use ICSI?
ICSI offers a range of benefits, including:
โ€ข Success with subfertile or older mares and stallions
โ€ข Ability to use limited or valuable semen efficiently
โ€ข Potential to boost rare breed numbers and crossings
โ€ข Breeding opportunities outside a mareโ€™s natural season
โ€ข A solution when conventional insemination has failed

๐Ÿ”ง How does ICSI work?
1๏ธโƒฃ The mareโ€™s oocytes are collected via transvaginal o**m pickup (OPU)
2๏ธโƒฃ A single s***m is injected into each mature oocyte
3๏ธโƒฃ Resulting embryos are cultured in the lab
4๏ธโƒฃ Viable embryos are transferred into a recipient mare or frozen for future use

๐Ÿ“ Where can you access this service?
ICSI services are available at Genetech UK, offering advanced reproductive technologies delivered by experts in equine fertility and embryo production.
