Those look like pretty normal numbers. Remember that lab breeding only carries a 15 days pasture-equivalent bonus, so you'll always get fewer intact foals than if you had pasture bred them. And I consistently see about 30% of my foals with inconsistent PT, regardless of parent consistency.

With lab breeding I never automatically BA test them. Too much is put in already with pulling eggs/straws and making/implanting embryos. I just plan to need to boost/maxout. Always PT and Breeding Inspection first so I know if I should boost/maxout a potentially important cross. If it looks close after inspection but the foal will need a lot of tweaking, then I might BA to save against the GMTing and comparison testing.

I only SBA 40 day pasture foals up to Gen 3. It's really hard to get intact foals with Gen 4 up in my lines.

5 out of 12 intact is actually REALLY good.
