摘要

The invention relates to the field of biotechnology and, in particular, to a method for the cooling and cryopreservation of semen from horses, using diluents that are particularly suitable for said method. High levels of fecundity can be obtained from the cryopreserved sperm can be obtained as a result of the high rates of cooling achieved by the method used prior to freezing and as a result of the cooling and cryopreservation diluent which contains compounds that reduce cellular metabolism.
