One of the requirements for a successful artificial insemination is the quality of stallion´s ejaculate. This thesis deals with influence of sperm velocity fraction on fertility. Semen samples in this thesis were evaluated by using an objective computerized method CASA, system SCA. Sperm motility in monitoring was performed in 75 samples from 12 stallions involved in artificial insemination fresh sperm in ZH Písek. Total and progressive motility, rapid, medium and slow motility were monitored. Stallion´s age was from 3-21 years. The average of fertility was 56,19 %. The average of total motility was 78,07 %. The average of progressive motility was 38,35 %. Furthermore, the spermatozoa were divided into 3 velocity fractions and the average percentage of the individual fractions in the samples was as follows: 27,30 % rapid spermatozoa, 21,27 % medium spermatozoa and 29,50% slow spermatozoa. Then the average percentage of rapid progressive spermatozoa (13,43 %), medium progressive spermatozoa (24,92 %) and non-progressive spermatozoa (39,72 %) were found. There was a positive correlation between fertility and the rate of rapid motile spermatozoa (r=0,34). The difference between individual stallions (p-value < 0,01) in the mean percentage of rapid spermatozoa in the ejaculate was demonstrated. The stallion with the highest rate of rapid motile spermatozoa and the best pregnancy was welsh part-bred stallion. On the other hand, the worst pregnancy results and one of the lowest percentages of rapid motile spermatozoa had noriker stallion. The highest success rate of pregnancy was found after the second insemination.The results of this work have shown that the quality of the ejaculate has a very significant effect on good pregnancy but it is just one of many acting factors.
