Abstract: Exposure to systemic heat stress in mammals adversely affects sperm production, male fertility, and DNA integrity. To date, few studies have investigated this phenomenon in horses, particularly in industry-relevant environments. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between ambient climatic conditions and fertility within a population of commercially fertile stallions. Post-coital semen samples were collected weekly from 46 Thoroughbred stallions during the 2017 and 2018 breeding seasons (n = 804). S… Show more
