Fertility
To maintain the reproduction of the Friesian breed, not only the fertility of mares is important, but certainly also that of breeding stallions. Without good quality semen, it is difficult to get mares pregnant. Sperm quality is influenced by several factors. Heredity is an important factor, but also external factors such as how often a stallion jumps, stress situations and not to mention nutrition. Antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids are important for good sperm production, concentration and motility.
Antioxidants important
Antioxidants such as vitamins E and C are important for keeping sperm cells healthy. They protect sperm cells from free radicals and oxidative stress. This is because sperm cells contain many fatty acids in their cell membranes, making them susceptible to free radicals. Selenium works together with Vitamin E. Selenium is important for sperm cell formation and testicular function. Selenium is also needed to make the antioxidant Glutathione peroxidase in the body. Glutathione peroxidase is needed in the production of testosterone. Stallions need about 3 mg/day of selenium.
Zinc
Zinc is the most important trace element for stallion fertility. Zinc is required for the production of the cell membrane and tail of the sperm. It ensures proper sperm motility, or sperm motility. In addition, Zinc is needed to maintain testosterone levels in the blood.
L-Carnitine for good fertility
The amino acid L-Carnitine should not be missing for good fertility in stallions. Carnitine is important for proper sperm maturation and function. The higher the level of Carnitine in semen, the more sperm cells and the more motile the semen is.
Vitamin D and Folic Acid
Vitamin D and Folic acid support healthy development of the sperm nucleus, helping to maintain sperm quality and sperm count. Friesian Gold Stallion contains all of these important elements to support mating performance, semen quality and sperm motility.
