Evaluation of Stallion Frozen-Thawed Semen Using Conventional and Flow Cytometric Assays
Field evaluation of frozen-thawed stallion semen has been limited to tests such as post-thaw motility and morphology that are not only subjective but also evaluate only a small population of cells. Flow cytometry has provided a quick, repeatable, objective method of evaluating a large number of …

The utilization of the prostacyclin analogue iloprost in the cryopreservation of stallion spermatozoa
The progress in the stallion semen cryopreservation industry has been slow, creating the need for further research and development directed toward improving post thaw parameters. Most producers utilize glycerol as the primary cryoprotectant when freezing stallion semen, fully knowing that the cell …

An Investigation into Bloodstock as an Alternative Asset Class for Investment Purposes
… the bloodstock industry, either through breeding-stallions; broodmares or youngstock, with each of these areas offering a different investment prospect. Opportunities to gain exposure to these segments of the bloodstock market exist through bloodstock funds, syndicates and even direct individual …

Identification of platelet activating factor (PAF) receptor in equine spermatozoa and its role in motility, capacitation and the acrosome reaction
… of PAF receptor on the spermatozoa of 10 stallions was investigated by immunofluorescence microscopy. Statistical analysis revealed that the fluorescence intensity, FI (Mean+/-SEM), in the post- acrosomal region (FI= 2.60+/-0.15) was significantly higher (P< 0.01) than that in any other …

The xenogenous capacitation response of fresh, cooled/extended and frozen/thawed equine semen as determined by a chlortetracycline stain
… possibility of xenogenous capacitation, using stallion spermatozoa. Ewes were grouped according to endocrine status as anestrus (n = 12) or estrus (n = 11) and were surgically inseminated with either fresh (FR), cooled/extended (FCE) or frozen/thawed (FZ) spermatozoal samples. The capacitation …

The Use of Ceftiofur Sodium in the Extension and Cooled Storage of Equine Semen: Its Effects on Motion Characteristics, pH, Osmolality, and Bacterial Growth
During semen collection in the stallion, contamination of the ejaculate occurs secondarily to the normal microflora present on the external genitalia. These bacteria and their metabolites can negatively affect spermatozoal motility and viability during cooled storage. Therefore, the addition of …
