In the spring of
2006 OWEC expanded
its services with the opening of its new Equine Reproduction Center.
This state-of-the-art facility incorporates the latest knowledge and
research to provide the highest level of care and expertise in the
reproductive management of mares and stallions.
While reproductive services are still provided by OWEC on an ambulatory basis, mares and stallions may now be boarded at our reproduction facility while being managed for:
Stallion services include phantom training and management of behavioral and physical problems associated with erection, ejaculation, and copulation. Ultrasonographic and endoscopic examinations of the stallion's and mare's reproductive tracts are available from OWEC.
The goal of OWEC's Equine Reproduction Center is to provide exceptional
care for your horse while also achieving a successful reproductive
outcome. Whether a broodmare, pleasure, or performance horse, OWEC
strives to care for the whole horse. We understand the importance of
keeping the performance horse in competition while obtaining positive
reproductive results.
As a referral facility, OWEC's veterinarians are committed to working with the referring practitioner and horse owner. It takes a collaborative effort to achieve positive results when dealing with complex reproductive problems. While your horse is at OWEC, you and your veterinarian will remain anintegral part of the decision-making process.
Dr. Etta Agan Bradecamp, a board-certified specialist in equine reproduction and in equine practice, serves as director of OWEC's Equine Reproduction Center. A 1999 graduate of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine, she worked for four years as an associate ambulatory veterinarian at Keswick Equine Clinic in Gordonsville, Virginia.
