How are horses bred?

2023-04-29 07:43:42 127

There are usually two methods of horse breeding, one is natural mating and the other is artificial insemination.


Natural mating refers to the mating of mares and stallions without human intervention. This method is generally used in breeding farms or equestrian competitions to improve the quality of horse offspring.


If you need to better control the quality of offspring, you need to use artificial insemination. The specific process includes:


1. Extracting semen from the stallion: Stimulate the penis of the stallion manually or mechanically to collect semen.


2. Preserving semen: Store the semen in a liquid nitrogen tank to ensure its quality and vitality.


3. Insemination: The stored semen is injected into the mare's uterus, usually when the mare ovulates.


Artificial insemination can greatly improve the quality and purity of horse offspring, and can avoid the risks and uncertainties caused by natural mating.
