If the stallion is not interested in the job, it can be very difficult to convince him. Most stallions are intimidated by other stallions, but like to see their mares and not be isolated. Stallions are often reprimanded for acting like stallions e. One needs to be very careful to allow the stallion to act like a stallion in the breeding area, even if he likes to bite the mare when teasing, as this may be what he needs to increase his libido.
Telling | Prestige Stallions
Libido can be increased behaviourally or through the use of hormones; however, the latter is not recommended, as by disrupting the normal hormonal balance of the stallion you could ultimately create a larger problem with lowered sperm production. On the other hand, although he may have the libido to perform, a stallion may not have the sperm package to deliver. Therefore, limit his daily breeding activity, using semen collection services to reduce the number of times he needs to breed.
When a stallion ejaculates, his output is usually enough to inseminate four to five mares. Nutrition plays a large role in ensuring that a stallion has the energy and nutrients available for the high demands of breeding, as well as for adequate sperm production.

While mineral balance is important for the body on a daily basis, it is also essential for sperm production. A poorly fed stallion is often a poor producer. A higher plane of nutrition needs to be started early in the season so that the proper nutrients are available for the stallion when the demands on him increase.
He should have a minimum body condition score of six at the start of the season and should never drop below this score. There are breeds that direct the breeding season to the period from February to July in order to ensure foals are born as close to January 1st as possible. This is not the natural breeding season for horses, which is from April to August.
When starting early, one needs to be sure that the stallion is able to produce sperm sufficient to settle mares during this period. Lights can be used to kick start the season, as the natural breeding season is analogous to longer daylight days. Older stallions appear to be resistant to light stimulus, and therefore you do not see as large a drop in semen quality. Age is also something one needs to consider as a factor for fertility. Some breeders start breeding their stallions as early as two years of age.
The stallion is not sexually mature at this age, is not producing enough testosterone to adequately produce sperm, and has higher nutritional requirements because he is still growing; therefore, the demands of breeding could impact sperm production and libido. To determine if his qualities are perpetuated in his offspring when breeding at this age, keep in mind his limitations and manage him accordingly by reducing the number of times he is bred. Sometimes, no matter what we do, we cannot alter the inherent genetic capability of the stallion.
