All through the previous 15 years I’ve had my justifiable share of experiences coping with sperm. Sperm from canines to be precise. Synthetic insemination has develop into a mainstay for my breeding program. Previously I’ve handled frozen sperm. Nonetheless, it wasn’t till not too long ago that I’ve wanted to cope with storage of canine semen. Since covid, many veterinarians usually are not performing the identical providers as they’d have up to now. Which has led me to contact as many reproductive vets as potential in Southern California. After my analysis, I believed it could be useful for different breeders to see an inventory of veterinarians in Southern California that performs canine semen assortment, freezing and storing.
Frozen sperm is a substitute for utilizing chilled sperm. It could be essential to freeze sperm if the stud is situated in different areas of the world, to protect semen of studs who present worth to the breed, or as a backup to an unavailable or unperformed stud. It can be essential to protect genetics for future use even after the stud has been neutered. Frozen semen might be saved for and indefinite period of time, shipped, and inseminated by surgical insemination. It’s also necessary to notice that not all reproductive vets freeze sperm and provide storage. Many will simply chill sperm and ship. For this reason I wished to create an inventory for many who particularly accumulate, freeze and retailer semen.
Frozen sperm is saved in liquid nitrogen at a temperature of –196 Celsius. This course of is to not be confused with merely freezing sperm in your freezer. Correct freezing helps protect the integrity of the sperm in order to attenuate sperm loss.
Under is an inventory of breeders who I do know collects canine sperm, freezes, and might retailer it. I’m optimistic there are extra. The checklist is in no explicit order.
