Cryolab Eersel, founded in 1997, is engaged with research, extending, storage and distribution of semen from various species. The most important ones are the dog and the goat.
Cryolab is established at the address Nieuwstraat 63a in Eersel. In addition Cryolab has an other branch located in Middelbeers at the nVWA certified GKN- goat reproduction centre.
The research is carried out with the most modern computer-based analysis that gives objective and reliable results.
RESEARCH
The purpose of examining semen is to try to give a good estimate of the fertilizing capacity on the basis of several measurable..
EXTENDING
We freeze semen (till -196 degrees Celsius) in order to make it independent of the time, to make it easy to store and distribute..
STORAGE
The straws or pellets with frozen sperm are stored in our tank filled with liquid nitrogen which is divided in many compartments..
DISTRIBUTION
There has been a rise in activity of Cryolab in sending semen abroad and vice versa. By doing this one can create a good opportunity..
Both the examination of canine semen and further processing starts with a good collection. This is done manually with the dog in a standing position in a quiet area and preferably with a female dog in heat. In this way the libido of the dog is optimal and the quality of the sperm will be optimal too. Experienced male dogs can generally also give good sperm without a female dog in heat.
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).
From now on we have a new service. Collection, quality evaluation, freezing and storing cats semen. For more information, please contact us by mail info@cryolab.nl or by phone 0031 497 745 562.
Recently it is possible to freeze, store and export pigeon semen with us. We are using a special medium for this. For more information, please contact us by mail info@cryolab.nl or by Phone 0031 497 745 562.

The preservation of semen for several days is possible by spinning it immediately after collection and adding an chilled semen extender and gradually cooling it to 4 degrees centrigrade. Depending on the quality of the semen, the extender and the cooling curve it is possible to keep up the motility till 10 days. The capability of fertilizing ova is most of the time much less. Up to 5 days maximum is more realistic.

With chilled or frozen semen an insemination is preferably done by means of a TCI (Trans Cervical Insemination): hereby a flexible catheter is brought endoscopically guided through the cervix into the uterus and the semen is deposited in the uterine horn. This can be done with a bitch standing and multiple times in the same heat.
The straws or pellets with frozen sperm are stored in our tank filled with liquid nitrogen which is divided in many compartments.
There has been a rise in activity of Cryolab in sending semen abroad and vice versa. By doing this one can create a good opportunity to escape the increasing genetic narrowness within the various breeds..
Due to COVID-19, chilled shipments are currently more difficult to deliver due time sensitivity.
From October 8, veterinarian Bregje van de Meulengraaf will join our team. She will be every Thursday morning.
Cryolab Eersel strives to optimize the quality of frozen dog semen.
