                                   for on-farm artificial insemination.  You may breed your mare immediately upon receipt of your shipment.
                                - When the shipment arrives, DO NOT OPEN the container until your veterinarian arrives and is ready (mare 
                                  caught up and prepped) to inseminate your mare.
                                - Remove the single dose (1 plastic pouch or syringe) = double the on-farm insemination dose from the
                                   container for the insemination.
7.    Notify Dual Peppy Partners when your mare has been checked in foal.

We trust and hope this procedure is straight-forward and easily understood.  Please feel free to advise us of any concerns.
