Narrator: Depending on the stallion, horse semen is one of the most expensive liquids on the planet.
Narrator: That means that a gallon of this horse’s semen is worth $4.7 million. And that’s nowhere near the most expensive. Once it’s collected, horse semen can be separated and sold in small tubes called straws.
Narrator: Even though most stud farms offer guarantees on producing a live foal, commercial and competitive success is still a gamble, even with strong genetics. In fact, the bloodline of all stallion horses is closer than you might think. According to an international team of scientists who studied the Y chromosomes of 52 horses from 21 breeds, practically all modern horses descended from just a few original stallions, from carriage horses hauling tourists in the streets right through to champion racehorses like Galileo, the world’s most expensive sire. Even more surprisingly, 95% of all thoroughbred racehorses, like him, can be traced back to just a handful of ancestors, who are all linked to one single superstud: the Darley Arabian, born in 1700. But the value of thoroughbred semen is a little harder to quantify, since breeding must occur naturally for racehorses.
Narrator: And anyone wishing to naturally cover their mare with Galileo needs serious financial backing. Even though his price is listed as private, it’s widely reported that his stud fee sits at around $650,000, comfortably the world’s highest. But because thoroughbred horses must be bred naturally, and therefore a collection of sperm cannot be purchased, equating the cost of Galileo’s semen requires some extrapolation. Assuming that during the course of a natural covering, Galileo ejaculates the average of 50 mil of semen, and assuming that the semen is high-enough quality to impregnate a mare successfully, and assuming that a breeder paid $650,000 for that service, then we can deduce that a gallon of Galileo’s semen could be worth a whopping $49 million, making it the most expensive liquid on earth. But is it worth it?
