Stallion Management   Artificial Insemination of Fresh Semen, Cooled/Frozen Semen Shipment or Live Cover-our stallion, yours or outside stallion. *Training your stallion to a Phantom and AV -$300- May take a few days for proficiency (includes semen evaluation & test cooling): We teach your stallion to mount a phantom, collect into an artificial vagina, with evaluation of his semen consisting of motility, volume, concentration, and also includes cooled semen test evaluation for shipping and the extender that he best ships in and the length in which his semen lasts while cooled. Stallions usually require 4 or 5 sessions to be successfully trained to mount and collect from a phantom and into an AV-some with, and others without a mare located nearby.  Some stallions may require more sessions to be completely trained, thus success cannot be guaranteed. Semen evaluation only-$50 Stallion must already be trained to the phantom/AV* and motility, volume and concentration will be what the evaluation consists of with a clean out collection included at no extra charge. Cooled Semen Testing -$75 (stallion must mount phantom and collect into AV already* and a clean out collection is also included at no extra charge) 72 hour test and includes 2-3 semen extenders tested to figure out which one your stallion cools best in. Test Freezing-$125 (stallion must mount phantom and collect into AV already*).  Simple Test Freeze-(approximately 70% of reproductively sound stallions frozen via this testing protocol have achieved adequate post-thaw motility and fertility)- includes testing by two freezing protocols and semen collection and evaluation.
