A Self-Assembling Magnetic IUD Novel Platform for Equine Contraception

Pearl Pod LLC has developed to modulate the behavior of performance horses.

Female horses can behave erratically during their mating season, which can be disturbing or even dangerous to riders.

Pearl Pod iUPOD®s will be helpful for behavior control and allow horse breeders to synchronize horse ovulation for same-day artificial insemination.
