AB  - This study was carried out in national Stud in
Tiaret West of Algeria to understand and to evaluate the
normal sexual behavior and libido of stallions (Arabian
vs. Barb) while mounting a mare in estrus. Eighty-four
stallions were divided to two groups from 5-24 years
age (n = 47 Arabian; n = 37 Barb). Results revealed
significant differences (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001) in
sniffing, libido score, flehmen response; time to first
mount with erection, number of mounts to ejaculation and
mount time for ejaculatory reaching a mean value of
(19.15±10.76; 12.23±2.68; p<0.01) second respectively
for Arabian an Barb stallion. These stallions were tested
in exactly the same place and conditions allows us to
discard any side effects due to animal management or any
other confounding bias. Our study provided us the
knowledge of sexual behavior under Algerian conditions
and the distinction between Arabian and Barb stallion.
