SECTION 325:75-1-19. Embryo transfer

  For a resulting foal from an embryo transfer to be eligible for accreditation in the Oklahoma-Bred Program, the donor mare must be accredited in the broodmare registry prior to foaling. If a donor mare is bred in Oklahoma, the donor mare may be shipped out of Oklahoma to have the embryo removed but must return to Oklahoma within 30 days to continue her domicile, or if the donor mare is to be bred in subsequent cycles at an out-of-state location to obtain additional embryos, the broodmare must return to Oklahoma and resume her domicile within thirty (30) days of her final breeding date for that year's breeding season. Nothing in this section would prohibit an accredited broodmare that is serviced out-of-state [325:75-1- 3.1(2) (a)] from producing multiple embryos which are transferred to recipient mares during the period of time she is permitted to be out-of-state for breeding purposes. Before the resulting foal of an embryo transfer is eligible for Oklahoma Accreditation, the following requirements shall be met: Effective January 1, 2020; All Recipient Mares shall be permanently identified using methods listed on the "Recipient Mare Form" provided by the Commission. Recipient Mares shall be domiciled in Oklahoma no less than 30 days prior to the due date indicated on said "Recipient Mare Form" and remain in Oklahoma until the foal is born. If a Recipient Mare is not domiciled in Oklahoma at least 30 days prior to the due date listed on said form, or leaves Oklahoma before foaling, the resulting foal shall be ineligible for entry into the Oklahoma-Bred Program. The "Recipient Mare Form" must be completed by the breeder and returned to the Commission by November 1st of the year prior to foaling. "Recipient Mare Forms" shall not be accepted by the Commission after this date. Any breeder, whose "Recipient Mare Form" is on file with the Commission shall be responsible to notify the Commission in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days, of any changes in domicile location or ownership. In addition, any new owners of said recipient mares, if any, shall notify the Commission in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days, regarding the domicile location of the recipient mare. In the event there is a transfer in ownership of a foal in utero, the new owner shall be responsible to notify the Commission in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days, regarding the domicile location of the recipient mare carrying the foal in utero. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in foals being ineligible for entry into the Oklahoma-Bred Program.
