Extract

Previous investigations have quantified the significant variability in frozen semen quality from sport horse stallions based primarily in the UK (Tucker et al., 2007). Many competition stallions do not produce semen suitable for freezing, which limits the global distribution of their genetics. In this study, the second part of a series of trials, the influence of dietary supplementation with anti-oxidants on semen quality parameters was evaluated.
