We have started the process of Artificial Insemination for Freyja for her first litter. The sire selected is Derwish Devil von der Nordhelle. This will be Freyja’s first litter and Devil’s first litter in Australia.
Freyja (Alpinarc Envy Me) came into season on the 21th of March. Her first progesterone test was on Monday the 23rd of March, or Day 3
Day 3 – 3.8nmol
Day 5 – 2.91nmol
Day 7 – 3.80nmol
Day 10 -14.8nmol
Day 11 - 25.2 nmol
Freyja was ready for AI, and was taken to Monash Vet Clinic on the Wednesday night for her operation on Thursday. By Thursday, Day 13, her progesterone levels had reached 70 nmols, which would be her peak. The operation occurred without a hitch and now we just have the waiting game.
Thanks to Wyndham Vet Clinic for doing the Progesterone testing and Monash Vet Clinic for doing the insemination.
