About ICSI service at UC Davis
In the past 10-15 years Equine Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) has experienced significant growth for breeders, particularly with the advent of intracytoplasmic sperm injections into matured eggs (ICSI). UC Davis’ tradition of serving horse breeders and our long-standing relationship with the horse industry in California, nationally, and around the world led to a wide range of advances in equine health including Equine Reproduction.
Our laboratory and the Equine Reproduction Service at the UCD Veterinary Teaching Hospital offers this unique service to produce equine embryos. We offer a variety of embryo services including transvaginal ovarian aspiration of eggs, ICSI in vitro fertilization, freezing embryos, and embryo biopsy services, and many others. We are also receiving shipped oocytes from anywhere in the US for ICSI production of embryos for storage and shipping for embryo transfer.
