Frequently Asked Questions
How long can embryos remain frozen?
As long as they remain in liquid nitrogen, embryos remain viable indefinitely.
Does the age of a mare affect the end result?
Age is one of the many factors that affects the success rate of ICSI. The genetic component of older mares is more fragile than that of a younger mare, but success is still achievable at any age.
Is there a different pregnancy rate from fresh vs frozen embryos?
There is a minimal difference between the pregnancy rates of fresh vs frozen embryos. As long as the freezing and thawing processes are done correctly, the viability of the embryo remains the same.
What is the success rate of the ICSI technique?
On injected mature oocytes the rate of fertilized embryos is around 60-70%.
