Breeding Soundness Examinations The Mare To provide the owner with any definitive diagnosis, recommended treatment and prognosis for future fertility, Carbondale Farms will provide a written summary following a thorough review of: • The mare's reproductive performance history. • An external evaluation. • The rectal palpation of the uterus ovaries and cervix. • Ultrasonography of the uterus and ovaries. • A vaginal examination. • An endometrial biopsy. The Stallion In order to determine if a stallion has the ability to deliver fertile, noninfectious semen at the proper time to impregnate a reasonable number of mares, Carbondale Farms will: • Evaluate the quality and the quantity of ejaculated spermatozoa. • Test the libido and mating ability of the stallion. • Attempt to recognize congenital defects that may be transmissible to offspring and/or decrease a stallion's fertility. • Look for infectious diseases that may be transmitted venereally. • Search for any other lesions that may reduce a stallion's longevity as a sire. A record that summarizes results of the Breeding Soundness Examinations will be provided to the owner.
