Chilled Semen
For more than a quarter of a
century, around the world, dogs have been successfully bred using chilled semen
dispatched by courier within and between countries. In the USA shipped chilled
semen is routinely used to breed bitches to dogs thousands of miles away and
stud dogs on the show circuit to continue their duties from anywhere in the
country.
The CLONE Chilled Semen System has
been used for 25 years to produce many thousands of litters especially in North
America. Used with care it has often proven even more successful than natural
breeding. Its unique buffer solutions can actually enhance the survival properties
of the sperm by correcting many of the common problems encountered in canine
semen.The CLONE Chilled Semen Kit is available to vets and breeders.
No special training is needed to use it contains clear instructions as well as
all the equipment required for collection, chilled preservation, shipping,
activation and simple vaginal insemination of the semen. . Good quality semen
typically remains viable for 48 - 72 hours (sometimes longer) during transport
and is often as good on arrival as when it was collected.
Using this system, from over 11,000
inseminations all around the world, the conception rate has been around 86 %.
When inseminated by CLONE personnel using progesterone blood tests to identify
the most fertile period for breeding, this reached over 94 %. No other system
has claimed better results. Natural mating typically achieves conception rates
of 80 to 85%.
