Brecon Breeders will readily provide expert advice on the best ways to use artificial breeding in specific situations. In most cases, artificial breeding programs can be carried out either on-farm or at the company's South Australian headquarters. Detailed instructions on the preparation of animals for such programs are available.

With the aim of increasing the rate of genetic improvement in a herd or flock, artificial breeding allows genetically superior animals to produce many more offspring than it is possible with natural matings. Embryo transfer techniques allow top quality females to have a greater influence advancement of a herd or flock in much the same way that artificial insemination has allowed greater use of superior sires. Continuing improvements to techniques mean the advancement of artificial breeding can be gained by virtually any livestock breeder-stud or commercial.
