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...
