Abstract

A field trial of artificial insemination in horses with transproted, chilled semen was conducted using a specially designed container which permitted a controlled, slow initial rate of cooling (−0.3°C/min) and maintenance of a final temperature of 4°–6°C for more than 36 hrs. Forty-six mares in 23 states were inseminated with semen from three German Warmblood stallions standing at stud in Hamilton, Massachusetts. A third-cycle conception rate of 91% was obtained.
