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.
Puberty. Puberty is the attainment of sexual maturity. In fillies, this is usually at 12 to 15 months of age, but it can be as early as 9 to 10 months. Stallions are 15 months or older before they can successfully breed.
A typical male horse can produce sperm as young as 12 or 14 months old; however, most breeders have learned it is better to wait until they are 3 or 4 years old before using them for breeding purposes.
Semen can be collected from most stallions standing on the ground. Either an artifical vagina or manual stimulation can be used. This can be especially useful for safe collection of semen from disabled stallions that are unable to mount or at risk of falling during mounting.
Cost of Artificial Insemination in Horses The insemination procedure itself ranges from $200 to $500. The total price of AI typically starts at $1,000 and ranges upward depending on the cost of the donor stud semen.
When a stallion is used for pasture breeding, we know that a stallion will mate much more than 2 or 3 times per day. Sperm numbers per breeding will thus go down dramatically when multiple mares are in heat on any day.
An ideal age to breed is from 4 to 12, but this does not mean you can't breed older mares some mares still conceive and carry healthy foals into their mid twenties!
Collection Fees The cost generally ranges from $75 to $250 per collection. Some stallion owners charge an additional surcharge of as much as $50 if they receive less than 24 hours notice for a collection.
A stallion is bred or semen collected once per day for 10 days. The semen collected on day 10 is then an estimate of daily sperm production. If the number of sperm on day 10 is several billion then the limiting factor is likely his willingness to breed.
Colt: A male horse under the age of four. Filly: A female horse under the age of four. Mare: A female horse four years old and older. Stallion: A non-castrated male horse four years old and older.
