Semen Assessments
Evaluating your dog's semen is a crucial step in determining his breeding potential and suitability for successful stud dog services. We utilise the latest advancements in canine reproduction technology, including nucleocounters and a CASA (Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis) device, to accurately assess semen quality using the most reliable fertility markers. Our comprehensive semen evaluation services are available for both visiting dogs and samples shipped to our facility, ensuring a professional and thorough assessment.
To ensure an accurate assessment for your dog’s suitability for stud work, it is advisable to have a bitch in season present during the collection. This will provide a more representative sample.
