Avantea - Equine Assisted Reproduction

The right breeding decision starts with the right choice of stallion.🐎

Avantea’s semen bank brings together more than 1,500 stallions for ICSI, including leading international bloodlines. Behind every choice is the careful storage, monitoring and traceability of the semen used in our laboratory.

From arrival at the facility to post-procedure monitoring, every stage is managed by specialized professionals following rigorous and proven protocols. 🧬🐎

The objective is to ensure efficiency, safety and welfare for every mare.

While the donor mare returns to the stable, the journey toward future genetic potential has only just begun.

The Avantea OPU Team is coming to Pferdeklinik Mühlen.
🇩🇪

On 29–30 September, our team, led by Cesare Galli, will be at Pferdeklinik Mühlen in Germany for two days of OPU sessions.

A new opportunity for german breeders to access Avantea’s OPU-ICSI program locally, with oocytes collected at Pferdeklinik Mühlen and transported to the Avantea laboratory in Italy for ICSI and embryo production.

Every embryo begins long before OPU. 🍃

Before oocyte collection takes place, there is a process that includes veterinary evaluations, health testing, planning and documentation.

The veterinarian confirms that the donor mare has an adequate number of follicles, the required tests are completed, and the stallion is selected. An essential step is also obtaining semen-use authorizations and submitting all necessary documentation.
Only when every detail is in place can the journey begin.

Because the success of an OPU-ICSI program depends just as much on preparation as it does on laboratory expertise.🔬🐎

Wherever your mare is, Avantea is closer than you think.🌎

Across Europe, our network of partner clinics brings OPU closer to mares and breeders, while oocytes are shipped to Avantea for ICSI and embryo production.

From the Netherlands to Portugal, from Ireland to Hungary, our network makes Avantea’s expertise accessible across Europe.

The Avantea Legacy continues. 🏆
Another remarkable result for an Avantea horse at the highest level of young horse sport.
Noémie d’Ecaussinnes, ridden by Guillaume Batillat, has been crowned French Champion of the 7-Year-Olds at Fontainebleau, climbing from fifth place with a double clear in the final.

By the legendary Cassini I out of Cocoshynsky, herself a successful sport mare, Noémie combines outstanding genetics with a path that began years ago through assisted reproduction at Avantea.
Behind her success is the breeding vision of Evelyne Studvv, now rewarded on one of the most prestigious stages for young horses.
But there is much more behind Noémie’s success.

In an upcoming episode of The Avantea Legacy, our series celebrating horses born through Avantea’s reproductive technologies and their achievements in sport, we’ll go back to where it all began: her pedigree, the breeding vision behind her and the path that took her to the top of her generation.

Because the best way to tell the story of our work is to see where it can lead.
The Avantea Legacy.
The proof is in the sport.

👏🏻Congratulations to Noémie d’Ecaussinnes, Guillaume Batillat, Evelyne Studvv, and everyone who has contributed to this remarkable achievement.
