Accurate stallion semen assessment as a fertility predictor need not rely on expensive equipment. This study investigated whether basic light microscopy assessments of s***m motility, membrane integrity, and morphology could reliably distinguish fertile from sub-fertile stallions under field conditions.

Study Design:

• 24 frozen semen batches from 24 Arabian and Straight Egyptian Arabian stallions
• Semen frozen across Europe and the Middle East; used for artificial insemination in Doha, Qatar
• All straws standardized at 100 million s***m cells; thawed at 37°C for 1 minute
• Eosin-Nigrosin stain (Botuvital, Botupharma) used to assess membrane integrity and morphology under light microscopy
• 200 cells evaluated per sample; categorized as major, minor, total, and non-compensatory defects
• Mares inseminated once at ovulation; pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound at 14 days

Key Results:

• Major s***m pathologies, total pathologies, and non-compensatory defects were all significantly associated with pregnancy outcome (p
