Stallions will typically remain fertile beyond their 20th year of age. The age that stallions stop producing spermatozoa will vary between stallions. It is important that semen is routinely evaluated on all stallions, especially when using older stallions because of the expected decrease of semen production with age.
Even though spermatozoa production begins as early as 12 to 14 months of age in most colts, results of numerous research trials recommend waiting until the stallion is 3 years old before using him as a breeding stallion.
Every stallion registered with AQHA who is breeding has to have a DNA type and Genetic Panel test on file. Your stallion breeding report lets AQHA know what mares your stallion bred in that breeding season.
AQHA mails a pre-printed registration application (also called a breeder's certificate) to every stallion owner who files a stallion breeding report. This application contains pertinent information such as the sire and dam's information, mare and stallion owner's name and address, and the breeding dates.
The Stallion Although most stallions begin to produce sperm as early as 12 to 14 months, most are at least 15 months or older before they can successfully breed. Few stallions are used at stud before two years of age and most stallions acquire full reproductive capacity at around three years of age.
Stallions are seasonal breeders, therefore longer daylight and warmer temperatures will begin the process of readying the stallion for breeding season. Stallions should enter the breeding season in optimal health and body condition.
A stud report is a record of all of the breedings a jack or stallion performs during the year. Not only are in-hand breedings recorded, but the exact dates of introduction and removal or mares or jennets is recorded if the jack or stallion is pastured with the mares.
Even though spermatozoa production begins as early as 12 to 14 months of age in most colts, results of numerous research trials recommend waiting until the stallion is 3 years old before using him as a breeding stallion.
When mares are in heat, they often signal willingness to breed by engaging in a variety of "displays," namely putting their tails up, urinating and displaying their vulvas. At this point, male horses typically indicate their intentions to breed by pushing their top lips up and smelling the female horses' urine.
The Thoroughbred registry set an upper limit for the number of foals a stallion can produce per season at 140 in 2020. For horse breeds that permit artificial insemination, the number of mares the donor can get impregnated is based on the amount of semen collected and used during each season.
