Embryo Transfer Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does ATA permit registration of foals resulting from Embryo Transfer?

A: Yes

Q: Are there any restrictions on the number of foals my mare can produce by embryo transfer?

A: No

Q: Do I have to DNA test all horses involved?

A: No, you are only required to DNA test the stallion, donor mare, and the foal. Most ATA-approved stallions already have DNA on file so you need only test the donor mare and the foal. If the test results are inconclusive, the recipient mare will also need to be tested.

Q: Does the ATA require Genetic Testing?

A: Yes, depending on bloodlines of your mare. Please read the ATA Genetic Testing Requirements
