Frozen semen must be maintained properly. The frozen semen is maintained in numerous high capacity, cryogenic containers. The liquid level of all the tanks is measured weekly and nitrogen added as needed and to maximize container holding time. Monitoring nitrogen evaporation rates allows our personnel to detect in advance a tank which is losing holding time and replace it before any of the valuable semen it contains is in jeopardy.
Our distribution services eliminates the scheduling problems typically associated with shipping cooled semen. Once the mares are booked, our experienced professional staff handles all the details of the shipments and breedings. Mare owners or their veterinarians may contact us directly to arrange shipments or we can process shipment requests directly from the stallion owner. Our staff will provide technical assistance as needed and with proper notice we are able to process the orders so that semen is shipped the same day as the request is received. The nitrogen shipping containers, housed in special protective plastic shipping cartons are sent via FedEx or similar carrier. Each shipment contains detailed information including post-thaw semen quality and handling and thawing instructions. Also available upon request are sterile non-spermicidal insemination kits, any expendables such as inseminating guns, straw cutter, or thermometer for thawing as needed by the mare owner's veterinarian may be ordered to shipped with the semen.
