Ultrasound Examination of the Accessory Sex Glands
Ultrasound Examination of the Accessory Sex Glands
A stallion’s reproductive system involves not only the testes but also the accessory sex glands, which play a pivotal role in contributing various fluid components to the ejaculate. Any disruption to the normal function of these accessory glands can have profound implications for a stallion’s fertility.

The accessory sex glands collectively contribute to the composition of the ejaculate. Occasionally, these vital glands can face challenges such as blockages or infections, adversely affecting the quality of the ejaculate and, consequently, the stallion’s fertility.

During an internal ultrasound scan, we can assess the health and integrity of the accessory sex glands, identifying any abnormalities, obstructions, or signs of infection.
