I have collected a sperm sample and am ready to give it a try. How are you supposed to keep the sperm fresh? Freezer or refridgerator?
Full Question:
Hi Cindy,Have you ever artificially inseminated your dogs? Can you please answer a question for me. How long is 6-10 cm? I have collected a sperm sample and am ready to give it a try. How are you supposed to keep the sperm fresh? Freezer or refrigerator? Please answer asap. Thanks so much for your time.
Sincerely,
Brenda
Cindy's Answer:
You need to get a ruler to see how long 6-10 cm is. We have done AIs hundreds of times. We only use FRESH semen here, it’s used IMMEDIATELY after collection.
Do you have our AI video? You don’t collect the semen and then save it. You need to use it immediately or all the sperm will die. You also need to make sure you have the right kind of tools to collect and insert the semen in the female. http://leerburg.com/127.htm Here is the link to our video.
The only successful way to use chilled or frozen semen is to go to a vet and have a reproduction specialist deal with the process. There are special extenders and additives they use to preserve the semen and then they have a special freezing or chilling process.
