  • Evaluation of strategies to mitigate cryodamage to spermatozoa.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements in frozen-thawed stallion semen quality have been achieved.
    • Fertility rates following artificial insemination with frozen-thawed semen have increased.
    • Successful cryopreservation is now feasible for a wider range of stallions, including 'poor freezers'.

    Conclusions:

    • Modern techniques enhance stallion semen cryopreservation success.
    • Improved processing leads to better frozen semen quality and higher fertility.
    • These advancements are crucial for equine reproduction and genetic conservation.
