Commercial artificial insemination (AI) success in horses is hindered by non-standardized semen cryopreservation methods. Global collaboration is crucial to establish reliable protocols and improve equine AI effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Science
  • Animal Reproduction
  • Cryobiology

Background:

  • Artificial insemination (AI) in horses relies heavily on frozen-thawed semen, but success rates vary significantly.
  • Stallion variability is a known factor, yet inconsistencies in semen processing, evaluation, and insemination protocols further complicate outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey and critically review current global commercial practices for stallion semen cryopreservation.
  • To identify standardized versus non-standardized procedures in equine semen freezing.

Main Methods:

  • A global survey was conducted using 25 questionnaires sent to commercial equine semen freezing facilities in 14 countries.
  • Responses were received from 21 facilities across 10 countries, detailing their pre-freezing, freezing, thawing, and post-thawing protocols.

Main Results:

  • Significant variation exists in pre-freezing, freezing, thawing, and post-thawing processing methods among surveyed laboratories worldwide.
  • Most procedures are not standardized, making it difficult to ascertain the reliability of any single protocol.

Conclusions:

  • Standardization of semen processing and record-keeping systems is essential to enhance the credibility of equine AI technology.
  • Multicentered collaborative studies are imperative to gather robust fertility data and compare different cryopreservation protocols effectively.
