Semen processing and shipping
Semen processing and shipping
Following collection, semen samples are analysed for various fertility markers such as sperm concentration, total and progressive motility and morphology.
Special extenders are then added which prolong the lifespan of the sperm so that samples can be chilled, packaged up and shipped nationwide or further afield for insemination, negating the need for your dog or the recipient bitch to travel for mating.

At Vet Repro, we used the most advanced extenders, which can preserve the fertility of sperm for up to 10 days, which provides a wide window for transport great distances, if required.

Alternatively, frozen semen can be shipped in special liquid nitrogen containers over unlimited distances, for use by the recipient on arrival, or to be stored indefinitely.

If you wish to ship semen overseas, your dog may require some additional tests prior to semen collection for export, so please get in touch to discuss your specific requirements.

Do you need advice, or would you like to discuss if the procedures we offer are right for you and your pet? We’re friendly and would be happy to help.
