Only the produce of natural services are accepted by the Australian Stud Book. Foals produced by any artificial means are not permitted into the Australian Stud Book under international protocols. This specifically means artificial insemination, embryo transfer, cloning and genetic manipulation. However, as an aid to a mating, the immediate reinforcement of natural service is permitted provided certain stipulations are adhered to. Please email Jacqueline Stewart, jstewart@ajc.org.au for the acceptable protocols for this practice. We hope studs and breeders Australia wide are able to fulfill their mating plans for their stallions and broodmares, and wish them all well during these pressing times.
