| dc.description.abstract | he sport horse industry relies on advanced reproductive techniques to enhance breeding
efficiency and genetic progress. This retrospective study delves into the use of Assisted
Reproductive Techniques (ART) in sport horse breeding, focusing on Artificial
Insemination (AI), Embryo Transfer (ET), and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
By extensively reviewing relevant literature and incorporating data obtained from
Boleybawn Horse Farm (BHF), Co. Wicklow, Ireland, this paper aims to assess the
methods and influencing factors associated with these ART methods, evaluate their
efficacy, and compare our findings with existing research.
The comprehensive literature review revealed the diverse approaches and methodologies
used in AI, ET, and ICSI within the sport horse industry. This paper discusses the influence
of various factors, such as reproductive management practices, and timing of procedures,
on the success of these techniques. | en_US |
