SERVICE FEES AND CONDITIONS
I. Registration of mares
The mare to be inseminated has to be known to Studbook Zangersheide. Single (free) registration of the mare will be realised by providing Studbook Zangersheide with a clear copy of the ancestry papers of the mare. Registration for mares already registered with Studbook Zangersheide VZW is not necessary.
II. Breeding season
The breeding season runs from 15 February to 15 August 2012.
III. Procedure sperm
- Sperm from stallions stationed at Studfarm Zangersheide is obtainable in fresh sperm. The sperm can be collected or dispatched. When no fresh sperm is available, frozen sperm is similarly available, after consultation.
- For every dose of sperm delivered, the mare owner will receive a sperm
- Per mare sperm for a maximum of three cycles is supplied. If the mare is not in foal after three cycles, another stallion must be chosen, without having to pay a new deposit provided that this is a stallion with a similar stud fee. If the fee is higher, the difference should be settled. When you choose a stallion from a lower fee there will be no settlement of the difference.
- A dose of fresh or frozen sperm for a next cycle can only be obtained after the deposit of the payable stud fee has been paid and after the completed non-gestation statement (made by a vet) on the insemination certificate of the former dose of sperm has been returned. In case of frozen semen just one dose pro cycle can be obtained.
- The mare owner must send the last insemination certificate back before 1 October, stating on it whether the mare is in foal or not. Non-gestation statements can only be made by veterinarians. In the event that a breeder fails to report his mare not in foal, the gestation charge will automatically be due.
- Payment of stud fee.
The stud fee should be paid as follows:- the deposit must be paid upon first insemination;
- the gestation charge is payable by 1 October 2012 if the mare is pregnant. The gestation charge = stud fee of last chosen stallion.
- By ordering and buying sperm, the mare owner declares to have taken cognizance of these conditions and declares to fully agree with these service and payment conditions, as well as with the stud fees.
The mare owner must send the last insemination certificate, stating the last date of insemination, to the office of Studbook Zangersheide in Lanaken (B).
If the mare is in foal, the mare owner will then receive a service certificate/birth notification which states the last date of insemination. This document is essential for the notification and registration of the foal after birth in 2013.
V. Per dose sperm
For sperm per dose the next service conditions apply:
- This sperm is available on a per-dose basis and has to be paid in advance.
- The number of straws can differ per stallion. One dose will, however always contain at least the number of sperm cells required for one insemination.
- Per-dose of supplied sperm the mare’s owner will receive a sperm/insemination certificate.
In the event that the owner wants the mare to have an embryo flush, Studbook Zangersheide should be so notified upon first ordering sperm. If no embryo(s) is(are) found, new sperm (for a maximum of 3 cycles) may be ordered for this mare, provided that a veterinary declaration from the embryo centre is submitted that confirms that the embryo flush after the previous insemination turned out negative. If the embryo flush turns out positive, a new deposit will become payable for a next sperm order for this mare.
If from one insemination more than one embryo is flushed, the advance will be charged as yet when the transplantation turns out positive.
The gestation charge shall become payable per successfully transplanted embryo if the mare is in foal by 1 October 2012. Note well: if the transplantation of the embryo has not proceeded successfully, the mare owner should so notify Studbook Zangersheide before 1 October 2012 by sending a non-gestation statement to be completed by a veterinarian.
If the mare’s owner attempts to commit fraud by denying the flushing of one or more embryos, the unconditional penalty shall be € 2500,- (ex. BTW) per case, besides the also payable stud fee.

It is only possible to make use of the Zangersheide guarantee plan if Studbook Zangersheide receives back the last insemination-certificate before the 1st of October 2012. This certificate needs to filled out by your vet. If a breeder in 2013 should then choose a stallion of a higher stud fee class, only the difference in stud fee will be charged. The gestation contribution that falls due when the mare is in foal, will always relate to the stud fee of the latest stallion used.
You can only make use of the Z guarantee plan following the year of purchase. You can only apply the guarantee plan on the gestation-construction.
