AI of Horse with Cooled Shipped and Frozen Semen : Practical Experiences
Absztrakt
I have investigated the use of artificial insemination in horses, comparing the use of
cooled shipped and frozen semen. AI in horses has become very popular the last few years. I
have investigated the different methods, comparing the benefits and drawbacks of it, focusing
on the use of cooled shipped and frozen semen in horses. For 9 months I enjoyed staying at
the Doubletree Horse Farm in Colorado, where they breed Quarter Horses using both fresh,
cooled and frozen semen. I got to perform much practical work, including collection of their
three stallions, extending and storing the semen, and inseminating the mare at the farm.
