The stallion is seven. The gel is part of the report and was not strained as far as I know. We have a 40 ml report that is very similar. The Morfology is as follows-95.5% normal, 0.5% primary abnormal and 4% secondary abnormal. That is as much info as was given to me and the horse is from over seas and additional questions and translations have been a hurdle. Thanks, Ed
The average ejaculate for horses runs from 4 to 12 billion total sperm so your post indicates that if there are 212 million per ml and there are 25 mls of hopefully represenitive fluid, that comes to a little over 5 billion sperm.
The number on a one time ejaculate is not a very sensitive indicator of fertility as it is effected by dozens of factors. Better are the numbers from sequential ejaculates once a day for a week and best is a proven ability to settle mares.
