Schematic of the experiment. Six stallions were distributed to six separate stables and sequentially exposed over four weeks each to an MHC-similar mare followed by an MHC-dissimilar mare or vice versa (balanced and full-factorial within-subject design). Three ejaculates per stallion were collected during the ninth week. Then the stables were emptied and cleaned, and the experiment repeated with six new stallions.
