HOME > BREED > FROZEN TS COSTS

No commitment. Take as long as you need to breed your mare. Or, stop breeding at any time without losing the investment of a stud fee.

No deposits required (but, our vet will ask for a container deposit, or credit card number). Simply pay for the doses you wish to receive.

Purchase as many doses as you wish, and use them on any mare you wish to breed.

Results of post-thaw semen evaluation:
  • Meets accepted standards for commercial frozen semen.
  • Sperm cell shape within normal range for stallions.
  • Recommended insemination dose: Three 2.5mL straws. This is what we send as one "insemination dose".
    • It is common to use two doses per heat cycle. But, only one dose per heat cycle is needed. This greatly reduces expenses for you. This would require an insemination very close to ovulation (talk to our vet for details). An experienced vet should be able to know exactly when she's going to ovulate.
  • Insemination recommendation: Thaw straws for 37 seconds in 50 degree Celsius water and inseminate immediately. Do not extend semen prior to insemination.

 

Statistics:
  • According to the Equine Research Center the average number of cycles per pregnancy in well managed farms is 2.5
