In Awe Maggard

In Awe is our April Patient of the Month! He is an 8 year old Appaloosa stallion standing at West Coast Equestrian Center who presented to Bend Equine for routine semen evaluation and test cooling. Test cooling is a process where a stallion's semen is cooled in 2 different extenders and evaluated throughout a 72 hour period to determine how well his semen will ship. In Awe's semen was last cooled 5 years ago and he has been very successfully live covering mares since that time. His test cool showed extreme differences in motility between the 2 extenders and his semen quality looked poor after 24 hours. We utilized a special centrifugation process for In Awe's semen and now his semen motility is in the excellent category - even at 72 hours! Test cooling and centrifugation are important tools for determining the best way to cool and ship an individual stallion's semen. We predict a very successful breeding season for In Awe and we look forward to working with this gentleman of a stallion in the future!
