Professional Background
Dr. Kevin J. Doyle, MVB, MRCVS is a world-renowned equine reproduction specialist with an extraordinary 60 years of experience in the field. A graduate of the prestigious University of Dublin School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Doyle has dedicated his career to advancing equine veterinary science, with particular expertise in fetal sex determination.
Before specializing in fetal sex determination, Dr. Doyle established himself as a distinguished equine surgeon, providing comprehensive veterinary services including surgeries, x-rays, rehabilitative care, and expert consultation.
As a member and former Head Veterinarian of the Australian Jockey Club (AJC), Dr. Doyle has worked with the most prestigious breeding operations and racing stables worldwide, including Coolmore and other major stables across Australia, Ireland, the UK, USA, New Zealand, and Japan. His client list includes winners of the Melbourne Cup, Kentucky Derby, Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and the Golden Slipper, among other prestigious races.
What truly sets Dr. Doyle apart is his Beyond All Doubt guaranteed accuracy in fetal sex determination—an extraordinary achievement when the industry standard among equine reproduction experts is approximately 96.2% accuracy using current ultrasonographic methods.
Dr. Doyle was trained by the legendary Dr. Richard Holder and has since partnered with leading equine research institutions, including top universities in Baltimore, America, and Sydney University in Australia. These collaborations have furthered his research and teaching capabilities.
Beyond reproduction, Dr. Doyle has been instrumental in managing major equine health crises, serving as Lead Veterinarian during the global equine influenza outbreak, drawing on his extensive knowledge of immunology. His diverse expertise makes him a uniquely qualified consultant across all aspects of equine health and breeding.
