Beyond® excels in semen storage practice
On January 27, 2024, a very special foal was born at MK Arabians Stud in Ajman/UAE. What makes this foal so special, is the fact that it is the first ever in the Middle East to have been conceived by post-ovulatory deep-horn insemination with semen from a known "bad cooler" stallion. The semen was stored with Beyond® for 6 days after collection.
The first positive pregnancy diagnosis in the Arabian mare was made within 14 days post insemination. After sixty days of pregnancy, the sex of the fetus was determined by ultrasound; the position of the genital tubercles showed that it was a boy.
The development of Beyond® marks a revolutionary improvement of stallion semen preservation – semen storage is finally possible for up to 14 days at +5°C. The semen of so-called “bad coolers” – stallions that do not respond well to chilling and freezing or have low initial semen quality – can be stored for up to 7 days at +17°C.
