The ability to harvest and preserve epididymal sperm from a stallion after simple elective castration, a catastrophic injury, or severe acute illness and subsequent death has been realized, allowing for the preservation of genetics that would have been lost otherwise.Currently, the care taken to collect the testes and epididymides properly, coupled with proper packaging and shipping, could make the greatest contribution to salvaging viable sperm. As advances in assisted reproductive techniques continue, more offspring may be obtained from stored epididymal sperm from valuable stallions.
在种马进行简单的选择性阉割、遭受灾难性损伤、患严重急性疾病并随后死亡后，从其体内获取并保存附睾精子的能力已得以实现，这使得原本会丢失的遗传物质得以保存。目前，妥善采集睾丸和附睾，并进行恰当的包装与运输，对挽救存活精子能起到最大作用。随着辅助生殖技术的不断进步，利用珍贵种马储存的附睾精子可能会获得更多后代。
