In 2000, Paul Loomis began to develop the concept of the SBS Affiliate Network with the goal of bringing SBS' semen freezing services to breeders throughout the world. With the help of Ed Squires, Paul worked to secure agreements with several of the most prominent veterinary clinics throughout the United States and Europe. Each affiliate member is trained in the same standardized protocols for semen freezing, storage and distribution that are utilized by the SBS team members at our headquarters in Maryland. These strict standards for the production of equine frozen semen have remained paramount to our program for the past 25 years!

Stallion owners often express concern that if frozen semen is sold as part of a breeding contract, unused doses of semen remaining after the original mare becomes pregnant may be sold to a 3rd party or used to inseminate another mare without payment of any additional stud fees. But, if frozen semen is returned, how can you know if the semen quality has been compromised and what should you do with it? Here we offer some advice on how to minimize the amount of unused frozen semen that is outstanding at the end of the breeding season and how to handle the fate of this frozen semen in your breeding contracts and if it gets returned.

A few years ago, Select Breeders Services (SBS) and the Dutch Warmblood Studbook in North America (KWPN-NA) collaborated on a project to produce a video series to educate owners about equine frozen semen. This series includes 9 videos ranging from the topics of motility to what questions mare owners should ask when purchasing frozen semen for their mare. You will find the full library of videos by clicking on the link below, then scrolling down to the "Breeding Mares With Frozen Semen" section and clicking on the FAQ: Do you have videos to help explain frozen semen to mare owners?
