Thoroughbred dissertation survey

[youngfarmer]

Hi all,

I am looking into the effects of using artificial insemination within the Thoroughbred breeding industry. I have put together this short survey, that will take no more than 5 minutes of your time, that I would appreciate any of you filling in. Unfortunately no one under the age of 18 years old can take part in this survey. It would be more beneficial to me if Thoroughbred breeders, people who work within the Thoroughbred industry and sports horse breeders could fill it in, but anyone that had worked within any of these industries or has knowledge of them are welcome to fill it in too. Any responses I get will be very much appreciated and beneficial in writing my dissertation.

Thanks in advance,
Lisa

*bump* Thank you to everyone that has filled in this survey so far. There have been some very interesting replies to the questions. I would just like to make a few points so people are clear (as some answers are going quite far off topic)

1) this survey is only to do with artificial insemination. No other form of ARTs are being included (embryo transfer, for example)
2) Question 6 and question 7 are very different questions. Question 6 relates to the breeding side of Thoroughbreds(whether breeding to sports horse mares or TB racing mares). Question 7 is asking directly about the affects on the racing industry, not including breeding stock

Thank you again for all the replies
