SERC_Barn Nestled in the Rio Verde Foothills section of the “West’s Most Western Town”, Scottsdale, AZ, is Scottsdale Equine Reproduction Center (SERC). They are proud to be one of the newest additions to the SBS Affiliate Laboratory network. The Sonoran Desert offers great weather and a diverse population of breeds and disciplines. SERC is able to take advantage of a very long breeding season and a climate that enables them to deliver foals very early in the year without the complications of a harsh winter environment. There are large Quarter Horse and Arabian Horse populations in the area but they also assist clients with other breeds including Warmbloods, Gypsy Vanners, American Saddlebreds, Andalusians, Friesians, Lusitanos, and many more.

The main service areas offered by SERC are Mare Foaling, Stallion Collection and Freezing, Mare Artificial Breeding with fresh, cooled or frozen semen, plus Embryo Transfer and Vitrification Services.

Other mare services include breeding soundness evaluations, artificial insemination, embryo transfers, and embryo vitrification. 

A full range of services is provided to stallion owners which include breeding soundness evaluations, phantom training, routine collections for cooled semen shipments and semen freezing.
