Abstract
A dilutor for jack and stallion semen is prepared by dissolving a
-ounce gelatin capsule containing 5.76 grams glucose and 0.67 gms. Rochelle salt in 100 cc. water and adding one egg yolk. This dilutor can be pasteurized for sterilization. It can be added to stallion and jack semen in a proportion of up to 1:10 for use shortly after collection of semen. For storage purposes a ratio of 1:3 seems more adequate. Pregnancies were obtained with semen that was stored for 24 and 48 hours.
