Egypt is anticipated to be potentially influenced by the global climate warming. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate
the influence of age on the fertility potential of Arabian stallions during summer breeding months. Arabian horses grouped according
to their age into three groups, each involved six stallions: young (5-6 years), middle (11-12 years) and old (15-20 years) age groups,
were weekly sampled during the months of July-August. Ejaculates were collected using artificial vagina, Missouri model, and
examined for pH, volume, concentration, motility, livability and morphological abnormalities. Serum samples were harvested and
assessed for testosterone, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), lipid profile, and copper and zinc levels. Semen pH (P
