Frozen semen now available to approved bitches

We successfully collected semen from Diesel (Mr Bordeaux Big Red) this morning. Semen assessment is an important part of the collection process and evaluates the fertility in males. It is a routine element of the pre-breeding examination.

It is generally assumed that the number of motile spermatozoa necessary for successful artificial insemination should be greater than 150 million per ml (Linde-Forsberg, 1991).

The sample collected from Diesel was outstanding. The concentration in the whole ejaculate was 258 million per ml. Diesel produced 14 ml of ejaculate. This means that a whopping 3.6 billion individual spermatozoa was produced in a single collection. Very impressive!!
