InFoal, Inc.

Advanced Equine Reproduction & Assisted Breeding Technologies,

InFoal, Inc. is a Texas-based horse reproduction clinic and laboratory specializing in advanced assisted breeding technologies for performance and breeding horses. The company provides embryo production, oocyte aspiration, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), conventional InVitro Fertilization (cIVF), embryo transfer, and cryopreservation services for the horses of domestic and international clients.

InFoal, Inc. works closely with  breeders and performance horse programs to produce viable embryos from genetically valuable mares and stallions, including mares unable to carry a pregnancy or breed conventionally.

Overview

InFoal, Inc. focuses on clinical and laboratory-based horse reproductive services that require specialized equipment, technical expertise, and controlled embryology environments. The laboratory supports a wide range of horse disciplines, including Quarter Horse racing, performance horses, and sport horses.

The company’s work emphasizes:

• High embryo yield per cycle

• Consistent laboratory protocols

• Careful embryo handling and documentation

• Collaboration with referring veterinarians

Core Services

Equine ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

ICSI  is used when conventional breeding or standard embryo transfer is not possible or has failed in your horse. InFoal, Inc. performs laboratory-based ICSI  using aspirated oocytes and minimal sperm quantities, including frozen, limited, or compromised samples.

Common indications include:

• Subfertile stallions

• Aged or non-cycling mares

• Performance horses unable to carry a pregnancy

• Limited or deceased stallion semen

Oocyte Aspiration (OPU)

InFoal, Inc. performs ultrasound-guided oocyte aspiration from donor mares. Collected oocytes are evaluated, matured, and prepared for fertilization via ICSI or cIVF.

Oocyte aspiration allows a horses continued genetic production without interrupting a mare’s training or competition schedule.

Fertilization By cIVF (conventional InVitro Fertilization)

As opposed to manual injection of the sperm, equine cIVF involves activating asperm sample into which the oocytes are placed directly for natural fertilization.  Mother nature selects the best sperm and the complete natural fertilization process takes place.

Embryo Production & Culture

Fertilized horse oocytes are cultured in controlled laboratory conditions designed to support early embryonic development. Embryos are monitored through defined developmental stages prior to transfer or freezing.

Embryo Transfer

Produced embryos may be transferred into synchronized recipient mares or prepared for cryopreservation. InFoal, Inc.'s 1000 head recipient mare herd provides an in-house resource to insure appropriate timing and personal handling at one location.

Embryo Cryopreservation

Horse embryos may be frozen for future transfer, shipment, or genetic preservation. Cryopreservation allows flexible scheduling and long-term storage of valuable genetics.
