Breeding season is a small window for horse owners - typically ranging from May to July to ensure foals are born at a safe time of year. Of all the types of semen to breed mares available, fresh-cooled semen is a desired option for several breeding programs. At Revival Animal Health, we carry a large selection of semen cooling and shipping supplies to transport samples safely.
The Importance of Proper Equine Sample Packaging
There are three major types of semen for breeders to choose from - fresh, frozen or fresh-cooled. Fresh can be challenging to find in the short window of breeding season. Frozen can be a hit or miss, making fresh-cooled the most popular.
Fresh-cooled semen must stay between certain refrigeration temperatures to preserve the life of the spermatozoids. Because the window for breeding is so small, a stallion's semen must be properly cooled and packaged to stay healthy during transport.
