Cryopreservation plays a pivotal role in modern equine reproduction, offering breeders, veterinarians, and researcher’s powerful tools to preserve valuable genetics, improve breeding efficiency, and support international transport of reproductive material. Whether it’s elite sport horses, rare breeds, or high-value stallions, the ability to cryopreserve sperm, embryos, and oocytes opens new frontiers in genetic preservation and performance breeding.

Cryolab supports this critical industry with state-of-the-art cryogenic storage and shipping solutions. Our CryoNest® Series of LN₂ storage tanks and CryoStork® Series of dry shippers are engineered for precision, reliability, and compliance -ensuring your equine samples are preserved in optimal conditions from collection to use.

In the world of horse breeding, genetic preservation is essential not just for commercial breeding but also for safeguarding biodiversity. Cryopreservation of equine semen and embryos allows breeders to extend the reproductive lifespan of a stallion, transport genetics internationally without moving animals, preserve genetics from top-performing horses for future generations, and protect against loss due to injury, illness, or death. These applications are especially important in equestrian sports and conservation efforts, where selective breeding is key to performance and preservation.

Cryolab’s CryoNest® Series of LN₂ Storage Tanks are designed to offer unmatched thermal stability for the long-term preservation of equine sperm and embryos. Built with advanced insulation, these tanks maintain temperatures at -196°C with minimal nitrogen loss, protecting the cellular integrity of reproductive material. The racked systems allow for organised storage and quick access, while models ranging from XL to XXXL (95L–175L capacity) are available to meet the demands of breeding centres, stud farms, and research labs. Features such as low evaporation rates, temperature monitoring, and pressure relief mechanisms ensure security and efficiency.

For veterinarians and equine clinics needing to ship preserved samples across distances, Cryolab’s CryoStork® Series of vapour-phase dry shippers offer a safe and certified solution. With five models from V2 to V10, these dry shippers provide secure transport of semen or embryos while maintaining cryogenic conditions throughout transit. Designed for both short- and long-haul journeys, CryoStork® units come with UKCA and CE certifications and a 3-year vacuum warranty. Optional temperature data loggers and protective trolleys enhance monitoring and mobility during shipping.

Cryolab’s cryogenic systems serve equine reproductive specialists worldwide by ensuring reliable preservation, secure transport, and full compliance with veterinary and transport regulations. From collecting semen in the field to long-term storage in a centralised facility or international transport for breeding, Cryolab supports every step of the cryopreservation process.

Whether you’re preserving the genetics of a champion racehorse or transporting embryos for global breeding partnerships, Cryolab is your trusted partner in equine cryogenic preservation.
