Since this year, Stud V.V. has taken the step to having its own laboratory. No more endless trips to stallion stations and dependence on external parties. Just, everything in our own hands. This is also much more pleasant for the horses. Evelyne enthusiastically talks about their steps over the past period.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

'At our company, we work with young showjumping stallions, such as our J-Nius V.V. Z. Of course, we have several stallions in our brochure. We ourselves breed about 20 foals every year, a few of which we keep and train ourselves. Around the age of seven, they are ready for sale. In addition to inseminating ourselves, we also work with embryos from the best mares, because we want to ensure the highest quality of our sport horses from the start' <\/span><\/i>says Evelyne.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Attention to knowledge transfer<\/h3>\n

The step to collect and inseminate semen yourself can be quite exciting at first. After Evelyne ordered products, on the advice of NIFA <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>going to take a KI course.\u00a0<\/span>'A shot in the arm, in retrospect, because I was left with several questions: How warm should the water be? How much pressure do you put on the artificial sheath? But thanks to this KI course and NIFA Technologies, everything became clear. Dirk Postma explained everything to me clearly with a step-by-step plan, calmly and patiently. After practising twice it no longer felt like \"technique\", but something that belongs to my profession. NIFA is a partner who really wants you to understand, so you can work independently.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I want to inseminate fresh. What do I need?<\/h3>\n

Composing the laboratory, Evelyne asked:\u00a0<\/span>'I want to inseminate fresh. What do I need? NIFA helped me well with this, even with practical things, such as that I need different gloves because of my small hands. Everything is tailored to my situation.'<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
