Abstract

Frozen semen technology has emerged as a cornerstone of modern animal breeding, enabling unprecedented genetic progress, biosecurity, and global dissemination of elite genetics in livestock populations. While its transformative potential is undeniable, the efficacy of this technology depends on the quality of semen, which is influenced by a complex interplay of biological, environmental, and managerial factors. This editorial synthesizes current research on the impact of bull age, seasonal variations, scrotal biometry, ethological considerations, and environmental stressors, particularly the Temperature Humidity Index (THI), on seminal parameters. By integrating these insights, we aimed to underscore strategies for optimizing semen preservation and enhancing reproductive outcomes in breeding programs.
