The Governing Council has given the green light to the protocol extension until March 29, 2012, the collaboration agreement between the Ministry of Agriculture and Water and the city of Lorca, for the implementation of a database of artificial insemination horses (BIA) in the facilities of the Integrated Agricultural Training and Experience (CIFE), Lorca.
The results obtained in the period 2006-2009, analyzed jointly by the parties, advise the BIA to continue and enhance the use of artificial insemination, as it contributes to the genetic improvement of livestock animals at the Region of Murcia.
In the CIFE of Lorca is made annually by the 'stop stallions' with players from the Pure Spanish Stallions Ecija Warehouse.
This will facilitate the mating of mares to farmers who request it, with natural mating reproductive techniques and artificial insemination during the months of February to July.
The Lorca CIFE has been officially recognized as a center authorized to trade in, and imports of semen, ova and embryos of the equine species.
During the 2009 season were prepared in Equine Artificial Insemination Center a total of 1,200 doses of semen of which 950 were applied to stop Lorca.
