Journal Article
Harris, I. T., Nankervis, K., Pyatt, A., Gardner, D. S., Humphreys, P., & Blanchard, R. N. (2024). Temporal Trends in Equine Sperm Motility and Semen Volume: A Retrospective Analysis from a Single UK Breeding Facility. International Journal of Equine Science, 3(2), 100-106

The equine industry preferentially selects sires based on pedigree, performance, and conformation, with little concern given to fertility. Increasing evidence supports the theory of geographic-sensitive declines in a range of semen quality parameters...

Ensuring high standards of animal welfare is not only an ethical duty for zoos and aquariums, but it is also essential to achieve their conservation, education, and research goals. While for some species, animal welfare assessment frameworks are alre...
