www.ivis.org/proceedings/aaaa/2012/Loomis.pdf-2012-09-19 2012 article by Paul Loomis of Select Breeders. He summarizes this paper with the following: “Breeders and professionals concerned with the responsible development of the equine AI industry should consider implementing a program of oversight to help minimize the spread of disease and provide some level of quality control for stallion semen production and distribution in the U.S.”
