 Stallion Management - Semen Collection and Evaluation
The most effective process of semen collection requires the stallion use an artificial vagina to collect a representative semen sample for either fertility evaluations or insemination.
The gel-free portion of the semen sample is measured for volume and a small portion is set aside for motility and concentration studies.
The small semen sample outside the incubator is quickly evaluated microscopically for motility and progressive (quality of movement) motility.

 Transported Semen - The Stallion Owner's Side
We greeted the news that transported semen would be allowed for purebreds with cries of relief since it would enable us to breed our own mares to CMK stallions far away from us and we could offer our stallions to mare owners who could not send their mares to our farm.
The down side of transported semen is the expense, both of the initial testing and equipment purchases and of the ongoing permit fees.
It is recommended that at the start of each breeding season a 24 hour semen evaluation test be performed to be sure that the collection procedures are still working and that there have been no changes in the semen and its ability to survive transport.

 Everything About Frozen Canine Semen Bank
Dog breeders who plan to have their dog’s semen collected, frozen and stored should realize that a facility that states it can freeze canine semen does not necessarily have the ability to produce puppies after the semen is frozen.

However, the client is informed when the semen is being prepared that it’s quality is such that it will require a surgical insemination, and even then it may not create a pregnancy.

A: As long as the semen is not thawed, and is maintained in a liquid nitrogen storage tank, the working life is believed to be nearly unlimited.
