Freezing procedure goat buck
The
evaluation and handling of goat buck semen is an important activity of
Cryolab. We are closely working together with 'Geiten KI vereniging
Nederland'(GKN). Cryolab reviews and evaluates the semen of bucks GKN
wants to use in their herd. To do so, we use a semen challenge test and
CASA (computer assisted semen analysis). In co-operation with the
veterinary faculty of the Utrecht University (NED) we have set up a
field research with several goat bucks. Additionally we produce and
deliver extenders for the use of fresh semen and we freeze semen in our
laboratory with our own extenders and freezing curves. Storage of
frozen semen is located in specially designed containers. Collection of
semen, transport to the laboratory, transport back to the goat farm and
inseminations are done by employees of GKN.
Together with GKN and
others we do research to improve the quality of fresh and frozen semen
procedures for goat bucks. Additionally we are working on improving
insemination techniques.
Goal of this research is to achieve results at least as good as natural
fertilization. Additionally the goal is to produce semen with export
standards. |
