FOR successful breeding outcomes, timing is everything. As we approach the 2023 season, the focus is now on what steps we can take to optimise breeding efficiency in the spring.

Correct use of light therapy regimes can have many benefits for our breeding stock. In the thoroughbred sector, early ovulations mean the production of early season foals and increases in the economic value of youngstock. In the sport horse sector, timely conception means less disruption of competition schedules, reduced workload managing multiple cycles and increases the chances of success using valuable semen.
