FRESH SEMEN
We ship UPS or FedEX Next Day anywhere in the United States and most
Countries of the World, so you will receive the finest genetics available
the next day. Fresh Specified Semen is packaged in individual bottles or
cochettes or the SEMBAGTM with approximately 5 billion cells per dose. Fresh
Terminal or Maternal Line semen is extended to approximately 4 billion cells
per dose. Life expectancy, when properly stored and rotated, is 5 to 6 days
from collection. Check semen storage directions upon arrival. Motility of
cells will be greatly reduced in the extender, but worldwide studies verify
greater fertility and litter sizes. Check out page 3 for information about
our delivery routes.
SEMEN PACKAGING
Semen is now available in the IMV Cochette individual bag system, tubes, or
bottles. Semen is still available from IBS in the SEMBAGTM.
The minimum number of doses is ten (10) and the sky is the limit. Each bag
will hold up to thirty (30) doses and comes with an easy pour spout. When
you receive SEMBAGTM
semen you will need to fill your own bottles at your operation. Bottles can
be shipped ground thus saving costs.
