Stallion spermatozoa selected by single layer centrifugation are capable of fertilization after storage for up to 96?h at 6°C prior to artificial inseminationKeywords: Single layer centrifugation, Stored stallion spermatozoa, Fertilizing capability, Artificial insemination Abstract: Sixteen mares were inseminated with SLC-selected sperm doses that had been cooled and stored at 6°C for 48?h, 72?h or 96?h. Embryos were identified in 11 mares by ultrasound examination 16–18?days after presumed ovulation.SLC-selected stallion spermatozoa stored for up to 96?h are capable of fertilization.
