Important stallions
Important mares ( more foals and commercialization of oocytes)
Mares in competition

Challenges and obstacles that were overcome in sperm preservation on last 5 years
Freeze semen from Stallions that do not resisted to freezing process
Past >large % Mangalarga bad freezers
Very low fertilty of frozen pidydimal sperm ( Stallions suddenly die)

BOTUCRIO NEW EXTENDER
Combines AMIDES with AMINOACIDS present in plants that resist better to winter
Better for stallions that semen do not freeze well (Mangalarga)
In general improves fertility even from good freezers.

Freezing semen from epidydimus-Why ???
Last chance-Unexpected loss of a breeding stallion.
However fertility of cryopreserved epididymal semen used to be much lower than that of cryopreserved ejaculated
One recent Brazilian report, revealed a high pregnancyrate (69%; 9 of 13) epididymal semen preserved in Botu-Crio extender.
