Equine Semen Thawing and Use Instructions

Is Cooled semen better than frozen?

Cooled semen is highly dependent on many factors. The quality of the semen produced at the time of

collection varies among some stallions. I.E. some stallions need to be "cleaned out" for a few days before

the really good stuff arrives for shipping. With frozen semen, they only freeze at top quality. The stallion will

sit at the collection facility until his very best semen arrives for freezing. Another huge factor is the shippers.

I have heard of shippers not getting the package to the recipient in a timely manner and the semen is no

longer viable. Frozen semen is shipped in a mini nitrogen tank that keeps the semen frozen solid for 2

weeks if needed. Delays in shipping is not an issue. The final problem is sometimes a mare will hold onto an

egg for longer than the vet suspects or releases the egg to soon and the semen is not available at the

perfect time. The frozen semen is sitting in a freezer waiting for the perfect moment for insemination. Frozen

semen solves all these problems and with the skilled handler is a much better choice and has a higher

success rate than either live cover or cooled. Contact the most highly skilled repro vet in your area for more

information.
