Fractionated Semen Collection Improved Fertility of Stallions With Seminal Vesiculitis

Seminal vesiculitis is one of the causes of pyospermia affecting the fertility of stallions. To date, recommended treatments have variable results and reoccurrence is a common sequela. The development of management tools for stallions affected is warranted. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate fractionated semen collection as a method to rescue fertility of stallions diagnosed with seminal vesiculitis. The study was performed from April of 2014 to October of 2017 with six light-breed stallions with a history of infertility and pyospermia.
