Equine reproduction lab using in vitro embryo production as a clinical service to the public
This ICSI foal lost his mom… but got a second chance 🤍
We introduced him to a lactating mare using a fostering protocol. Prostaglandin → endogenous oxytocin → maternal instinct.
Timing is everything, just enough hunger to encourage that first nurse. This is how we help orphan foals thrive.
For adoption, you can use a mare who lost her foal or cyclic mares with induced lactation.
Thanks to the UC Davis Equine Reproduction and Medicine teams.
