Product Description
This is for a freezing of one stallions ejaculation of semen, up to 100 straws. Valued at $1500 + GST NZD. This has been kindly donated by CryNZ.
“Like Embryo freezing there are many reasons to consider freezing semen from your colt or stallion.
Preserving bloodlines, insurance purposes, emotional health of the stallion that may be a competition stallion. Many people who breed a lovely colt and geld them before they show their true potential often kick themselves for not saving a few straws for the future….just in case.
If you wish to have your semen frozen by CryNZ and then stored at another facility this is a simple process of filling in the field to have it transferred after freezing to this facility.
We can also receive semen from anywhere is NZ for freezing meaning you can collect it at home and ship it to us following our instructions for safely shipping it. We are also able to receive Testicles after castration for extraction of the epididymal semen for freezing.”
Advantages include:
- There are no requirements to schedule shipments of semen to fit the mare’s ovulation time; Mare management is often more closely monitored for ovulation to achieve a positive result.
- There is no requirement for the stallion to be taken out of competition for breeding, or to have his competitive attitude possibly disrupted by being bred;
- There is an “insurance factor” in case the stallion should become ill, die, or be unable for some other reason to fulfill live cover/cooled semen breeding commitments; Some stallion owners prefer to freeze semen as it is cheaper than insurance.
- When the stallion is young and reproductively at his prime, the best semen can be taken and frozen, if the stallion goes on to do well in competition the semen can increase in value substantially and become a commodity worth owning.
- As the processing of frozen semen usually requires the involvement of a business that specializes in that processing, there tends to better control over quality than is sometimes seen with cooled semen.
- Semen freezing packages are available at excellent rates. All the semen we freeze is tested and reported on arrival and tested after freezing (post-thaw evaluation) it is also sent to an independent lad for testing to ensure you are kept informed our processes are correct. We are not in the business of storing semen which has low quality and we work to produce the best possible result for our stallion.
- We have an opt-out clause for our stallion owners, this means if the semen proves to be of low motility after freezing then the stallion owner can choose to either keep the straws or opt-out of the freezing process and not incur the freezing fee.
