[The effect of the age of stallions and mares on their fertility]. 1980

J Dusek, and Z Munk

The study was based on the documentation of the Napajedla Stud Farm of the English Thoroughbred horse for 1888-1972. Evaluating the effect of the age of stallions on their fertility (leaving aside the variability of the age of their mothers), such an effect was found to be significant only in four out of the 26 studs evaluated. In 65% of the selected stallions, the correlation coefficients were found to be negative, but without statistical significance. However, the objective of the study was to evaluate stallions and mares parallelly as to their age variability and fertility. The relationships of the effect of the age of the stallion and of the mare on fertility were evaluated by different modificatons of the value chi2. The prerequisite for the analyses of the effect of different stallion age at a constant age of mares was the calculation of the global chi2 used jointly for the evaluation of the variable age of stallions and mares. The result are varied and report on the individuality of the effect of stallions, giving no clear basis for generalizing any fertility-decreasing tendency with the higher age of the parents. The problem is analyzed from the physiological viewpoint.
