Abstract: Stallion semen cryopreservation is a technology which adds cryoprotectants in semen, then a series of processing and stores in ultra-low temperature(liquid nitrogen or dry ice).In recent years, as the frozen semen gradually applied in many countries on horse breeding, dramatic progress has been made on the cryopreservation technology. This article reviews stallion semen cryopreservation of semen dilution, centrifugation, dilution again, cooling balance, packing, frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen. It designed to help stallion semen cryopreservation for further research and provide a reference in order to promote healthy and sustainable development of our modern equine industry.

Key words: equine; semen; cryopreservation; modern equine industry
