  • Title: Semen characteristics in thyroidectomized stallions.
    Author: Lowe JE, Baldwin BH, Foote RH, Hillman RB, Kallefelz FA.
    Journal: J Reprod Fertil Suppl; 1975 Oct; (23):81-6. PubMed ID: 1060877.
    Abstract:
    Three Quarter-horse stallions were surgically thyroidectomized at 18 months of age. Weekly semen collections were made from these and three control stallions from 25 to 39 months of age. Although the induced state of hypothyroidism in young stallions has a depressing effect on libido and general animation and can be corrected by thyroprotein supplementation, semen characteristics, testicular histology and fertility are not affected by the operation.
