For the last 7 years we freeze semen of stallions. Some of the stallion owners deliver the semen which they have collected themselves to our laboratory for freezing and storing. We only handle semen of horses for the Dutch market because the EU guidelines request that the semen is collected and frozen on the same premises where the stallions are in quarantine. The techniques of freezing, assessment of quality, quality of handling semen and storage are equal to an EU certified laboratory.
Collection of semen, transport to the laboratory, transport of frozen semen to the user and inseminations are always done by a third party (e.g. stallion owner, large animal vet).
The extenders and the technique of freezing are developed by Cryolab and we achieve good results in practice. We review the semen quality with the very modern computer assisted semen analysis (CASA) equipment. Every batch of semen becomes a objective certificate and the analysis is digitally stored.

Information about the costs of certificates of quality, extenders, freezing and storage of semen can be requested at our laboratory.
