A recent study showed a high prevalence of T. equigenitalis in Icelandic stallions when compared to stallions of other breeds also using for natural breeding. Consequently, the objectives of the present study were to investigate the prevalence of T. equigenitalis in Icelandic mares and geldings and to determine factors associated with a T. equigenitalis-positive qPCR result. In total, 361 Icelandic horses located in Southern Germany and Austria were tested for T. equigenitalis using a qPCR assay. An overall prevalence of 14.4 % was detected. Positive qPCR results were found in 2.2 % (3/134) of brood mares, 9.0 % (11/122) of maiden mares and in 36.2 % (38/105) of geldings. The odds for a T. equigenitalis-positive qPCR result were significantly lower in both brood (OR = 40.1, 95 % CI: 8.38-192, P < 0.001) and maiden mares (OR = 9.51, 95 % CI: 3.26-25.7, P < 0.001) when compared to geldings. Advancing age was not associated with higher odds for a T. equigenitalis-positive qPCR result (OR = 0.98, 95 % CI: 0.94-1.03, P = 0.51). However, horses of the younger age group showed significantly lower C<sub>t</sub> values compared to horses of the older age group (P = 0.04). Furthermore, geldings showed significantly lower C<sub>t</sub> values than brood (P < 0.03) and maiden mares (P < 0.001).

When caudal maxillary portals were used as viewing portals, endoscope maneuverability was limited by the infraorbital canal in 50% of antimeres. When frontal portals were used as instrument portals, the frontomaxillary opening interfered with or prevented appropriate fenestration of the bulla in 83.33 % and 16.66 % of antimeres respectively.

Experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that external regulation of shipment container temperature would prolong storage time of cooled stallion semen. Initial experiments determined the effect of pre-freezing cooling cans at -20 °C or -80 °C on sperm motility. Fresh sperm was extended in INRA96 and placed in commercial Equitainers for 3.5 days (84 h). Quantification of sperm kinematics was determined every 12 h.

Internal monitoring of Equitainers containing -20 °C freezer can temperature identified 20 °C as the threshold for rapidly decreased motility. In the second experiment, sperm were maintained in Equitainers containing -20 °C freezer cans and placed in two different conditions: 1) ambient temperature for 48 h (23 °C) or 2) 5 °C for external temperature regulation up to 8 days, or when total motility dropped below 50 %.
