Equine & Bovine Reproductive Medicine · Bavaria, Germany
We are
Rocío & Miguel.
Two Spanish veterinary specialists practising in Germany with over 20 years of combined experience and 25,000+ embryos between us. We work differently from most practices here: openly, directly, and with you in every decision.
"Equine reproduction is not just technique.
It is time, careful decisions and, often, uncertainty."
In Germany, veterinary practices are known for being highly professional — and highly distant. We bring something different: the close, direct communication that our clients tell us they've never had from another practice. We involve you in every decision. We explain every result. And we do it as Rocío and Miguel, not as an institution.
Specialist reproductive
medicine for horses
We cover the full spectrum of equine assisted reproduction. Every technique is performed with the same standard: rigorous, personalised and communicated openly from start to finish.
Embryo Transfer
Keep your best mare competing
Collection and transfer of equine embryos on day 7–8 post-ovulation, with same-day or transported solutions across Europe.
OPU & ICSI
Breed elite genetics without interruption
Ultrasound-guided oocyte pick-up followed by intracytoplasmic sperm injection, allowing mares in active competition to produce offspring without interrupting their career.
Artificial Insemination
Maximise conception at every stage
Insemination with fresh, chilled or frozen semen, with full cycle monitoring to maximise conception rates at every stage.
Embryo Freezing & Vitrification
Plan your breeding programme at your pace
Cryopreservation of surplus embryos for indefinite storage, allowing strategic planning of your breeding programme on your own timeline.
Fertility Assessment
Catch problems before they cost you a season
Comprehensive gynaecological examination, uterine culture and hormonal profiling to identify and address reproductive challenges early.
Problem Mare Management
Turn difficult cases into successful pregnancies
Specialist diagnosis and targeted treatment for mares with a history of reproductive failure, recurrent endometritis or poor embryo recovery rates.
Breeding Programme Advisory
A strategic partner for your whole programme
Advice on breeding programme design and reproductive management, from selection criteria to seasonal planning. We work alongside breeders to optimise results at every stage of the cycle.
Stallion Management
Maximise the potential of your breeding stallion
Comprehensive evaluation and management of breeding stallions, including semen quality assessment, collection protocols and reproductive health monitoring.
We involve you
in everything.
You reach out.
Tell us what you need. We respond quickly, in person — not with an automated reply. Every conversation starts the same way: with us listening to you properly.
We plan together.
We explain every option with realistic success rates, timelines and costs. You understand everything before we start. And you decide, with full information in front of you.
We are there.
Every procedure, every result, every update. You are never left waiting or wondering what is happening. We communicate throughout — because that is how we would want to be treated.
We celebrate with you.
When it works — and with 20 years and 25,000+ embryos, it usually does — we feel it too. These are not just cases. We know the animal, we know the effort and we share the result.

Science, precision
and care. From us, to you.
We are two Spanish veterinary specialists who moved to Bavaria and built the practice we wished existed here: expert reproductive medicine with a genuinely close relationship to every client. No anonymity. No distance. Just Rocío and Miguel, available, direct, and committed to your animals as if they were our own.

Reproductive Medicine Specialist
Bio and credentials coming soon. Rocío's partner at Progeny, bringing complementary expertise and the same commitment to direct, honest communication.
A code of ethics
we stand by
Our work is guided by a clear set of principles that put animal welfare, scientific integrity and client trust above all else. These are not marketing words. They are how we actually work, every day.
Animal welfare first
No procedure is performed if the animal shows signs of discomfort. We use individual sedation protocols and cancel any intervention that could compromise the animal's wellbeing.
EU-certified laboratory
Our laboratory meets the requirements of European Union Directive 92/65/EEC and is subject to annual inspections by the competent veterinary authority.
Full transparency
We communicate openly at every stage: realistic success rates, costs and outcomes. There are no hidden fees and no inflated promises.
Strict confidentiality
Client and animal data is handled with absolute discretion. We never share information about your breeding programme without your explicit consent.
Continuing education
We participate in international reproductive medicine conferences and research networks to ensure our techniques remain at the forefront of the field.
Responsible breeding
We reserve the right to decline procedures that conflict with the welfare of the animal or the ethical standards of our profession, regardless of commercial pressure.
A reference centre
for equine reproduction
Our clients are not only breeders and stud farm managers. We collaborate with veterinary practices, breeding associations and research networks, and we actively seek partnerships with colleagues who want to offer reproductive medicine services without the infrastructure to do so themselves.
Breeders & stud farms
We work directly with performance horse and cattle breeders who want expert reproductive medicine, personalised attention and honest communication throughout each season. Every case handled with the same rigour and care.
Veterinary partnerships
If your clients need reproductive medicine and you don't have the infrastructure, we can be your specialist partner. We handle the cases; you maintain the relationship with your clients. A professional collaboration built on trust and shared standards.
Associations & research
We collaborate with breed associations, national federations and research institutions. If your organisation is looking for a specialist reproductive medicine centre for clinical projects, training or technical support, we would be glad to talk.
Let's talk.
Tell us about your animal and what you're looking for. We'll respond quickly — and it will always be one of us on the other end, not a form reply or a receptionist.
