Dr. Jerry Longworth has spent a lifetime with animals. Jerry
is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and has
credited his obsession with equine reproduction to his
mentors Dr. Dean Neely, Dr. Patricia Sertich, Dr. Wendy
Vaala, Dr. Richard Beck, and Dr. William Swires. "They have
been a great influence in my decision to pursue equine
reproduction."
Jerry has honed his craft to include specific
technologically advanced services such as Embryo
Vitrification, better known as freezing. "The process of
freezing embryos has come a long way", he said. "We can now
flush an embryo from a mare, freeze it and store it for
years, or even just for use the next year." Vitrification
solves some of the concerns with breeding older mares.
"Quality mares that are getting up there in age are less
likely to be reproductively sound. Vitrification allows us
to flush and freeze these mares' embryos. The embryos can be
stored and inserted into a recipient mare at a later date."
Jerry opened the doors to his mobile veterinary equine
practice in 2004 and in fall 2009 has taken another giant
leap forward by opening Scottsdale Equine Reproduction
Center, LLC.
Scottsdale Equine Reproduction Center (SERC) is located
in the heart of the "Valley of the Sun", Scottsdale,
Arizona. Scottsdale is considered horse central for the
state of Arizona and offers gorgeous sunshine to its many
breeds and disciplines. SERC is very fortunate to be working
with a wide variety of equine breeds from Gypsy Vanners and
Arabians to the American Quarter Horse and American Saddle
Bred.
