There are great individual differences in semen quality of stallions – and even more so in the tolerance of sperm to cooling or freezing. In most western European countries, the majority of trotter and riding mares are inseminated with cooled transported semen, although the pregnancy rates (PR) are often lower compared to fresh semen insemination (AI). Some stallions have such poor sperm quality that acceptable PRs are not achieved using routine semen preparation methods. In the handling of semen for shipment, rigorous control of temperatures and hygiene is very important. Cooling and storage stress sperm which do not tolerate these conditions if they have been mistreated during semen processing.
