Blue Chip Farms today announced the completion of their state-of-the-art on-farm equine laboratory.

Long-term partner Pine Bush Equine has become a preferred provider with industry pioneer Dr. Rob Foss and his Equine Medical Services and has also added recent Texas A&M graduate and full-time Theriogenologist, Jared Voge to Dr. Herb Burns’ team.

A substantial six-figure investment in new equipment such as the nucleocounter, phase contrast microscope and ultracentrifuge as well as all equipment required to aspirate oocytes for In vitro fertilization and to commercially freeze semen now resides on farm.

The improved ability to aggressively analyze and manipulate semen, combined with increased mare protocol options, will lead to higher pregnancy rates and lower heat cycle costs across a wide spectrum of stallions and mares.

"We are committed to continually increasing fertility and thus profitability while reducing our clients out of pocket costs by giving them access to this equipment and expertise that they otherwise would not have," said Blue Chip Farms’ principal Tom Grossman. "Our industry leading on-farm conception rate will only improve, therefore bringing the perfect storm to our clients - lower costs and increased conception rates."

For more information on mare boarding and breeding, Stallion services including semen freezing and access to our vast catalog of frozen semen, In Vitro fertilization or any other Equine reproductive services, please contact Blue Chip.
