How would you ensure the integrity of the breed? How would they know 1000% that the sperm that was being used was indeed the real deal. I would imagine that you would open up a whole new can of worms.

As I wrote above, protocols could be adopted to ensure that sperm samples are from the source they're claimed to be from. This might require an independent agency to administer it, but I don't see it as being too onerous. Chain of custody procedures, for example, are old hat for police agencies and laboratories. Then there's always genetic testing, which has become increasingly cheaper, either of the sample or the issue (and I know that it's already been done in situations when a mare is unexpectedly found to be pregnant). I would think this would ensure the integrity of the blood line even more effectively than the current methods.

It's really rather simple, I've been breeding with A.I. for years, each registration application has to include mane hair to verify the DNA on file with the respective registries.

For what reason if I may be so bold to ask?

I think the only way this would work is if they couldnt sell the sperm until the horse retires or dies whichever comes first.

Which just means they would still retire early.

i recall seeing horse semen collected. what a virile stallion he was! he was even ejaculating as the tech reached his gloved hand into the anus to massage the prostrate and generate an erection. rookie tech. nonetheless that stallion had much desire for the collection platform.

The poor tech walks around and all the
stallions get excited. Strip tease I guess.
And then you dont get your turn...
