Abstract
Breeding or semen collection was attempted using: natural cover, manua l stimulation, artificial vagina, pharmacologic induction of ejaculati on, and electroejaculation. Sperm cells were recovered from the ductus deferens and epididymides post mortem. Only semen collected ex copula by imipramine and xylazine treatment resulted in conceptions (4/5). T his is the first report of pregnancies in horses from ex copula semen collection.
