Pet Reproductive Services in Ottumwa, IA
At Ottumwa Family Animal Care, we’re thrilled to provide timed AI and timed c-section services. Learn more below.
Timed AI
Timed artificial insemination (AI) is all about ensuring successful breeding and keeping our animals healthy. Using advanced techniques and perfect timing, our team plans and carries out AI procedures to boost conception rates. We keep a close eye on the female animal’s reproductive cycle and inseminate at just the right time for fertilization. This method helps prevent missed breeding chances and makes breeding programs more efficient.
Timed Cesarean Sections
We’re dedicated to keeping both mom and babies safe during labor and delivery. That’s why our expert veterinary team schedules cesarean sections to handle any potential issues that may arise. These timed c-sections give us precise control over the birthing process, so we can step in quickly if there are any complications. With our experienced care, timed c-sections greatly improve the likelihood of successful births and ensure the health of both mom and her babies.
