- Extender Addition: Using specialized diluents to protect sperm cells during the freezing process.
- Equilibration: Gradual cooling of the semen to 5°C over a specific timeframe.
- Deep Freezing: Plunging the straws into liquid nitrogen vapour before final storage at -196°C.
Caprine AI Services & Fertility Testing
Our Caprine AI services and goat fertility testing are tailored to maximize your herd's conception rates. We employ precise laparoscopic AI techniques for optimal results with frozen-thawed semen.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the success rate of laparoscopic AI in goats?
When using high-quality frozen semen and proper synchronization protocols, laparoscopic AI in goats can achieve conception rates between 60% and 75%. Success heavily depends on the doe's body condition and precise timing.
How do you ensure the quality of frozen buck semen?
We ensure quality by rigorously testing every batch post-thaw. Semen must exhibit a minimum of 40% progressive motility after thawing to be approved for breeding use.
Can you test bucks for specific reproductive diseases?
Yes, our qPCR testing detects specific diseases to ensure that only healthy, disease-free bucks are used for breeding or semen collection.
