Predicting the outcome of Thoroughbred stallion matings on the basis of dismount semen sample analyses.

This study revealed highly significant correlations between core sperm parameters such as sperm vitality (R 2 = 0.93), total motility (TM) (R 2 = 0.92), progressive motility (PM) (R 2 = 0.85), % rapid cells (R 2 = 0.80), oxidative stress parameters such as 4HNE (R 2 = 0.73) and 8OHdG (R 2 = 0.94), sperm count (R 2 = 0.54), and tail abnormalities (R 2 = 0.70), thereby validating the use of such samples in a diagnostic context.
