Frozen Semen & Cryopreservation
Frozen Semen & Storage
Sire management procedures and understanding the peculiarities of each sire is essential for prolonging the active working life of a sire.
It also facilitates the collection of quality semen which is more likely to sustain the rigours of processing to -196°C.
Professional Pelleted Canine Freezing System - the semen is frozen in pellets and vials (ampoules).
Pelleted Canine Freezing System Advantages:
Nr. of Breedings: Pellets provide more breedings per collection than straws.
Precision: Pellets allow for more accurate dosing, as individual pellets can contain a specific amount of semen, ensuring consistency in insemination.
Less Volume: Pellets generally take up less storage space than straws, which can be beneficial for long-term storage.
Reduced Risk of Contamination: Since each pellet is individually sealed, the risk of contamination during thawing and handling is minimized.
Thawing Flexibility: Pellets can be thawed individually, allowing breeders to use only what's needed for each insemination, potentially reducing waste.
