Chilled semen does not need the difficult handling
procedure of the frozen semen, and the insemination can be done by veterinarians
who are not specialists in reproduction, and even by experienced breeders
with basic knowledge of reproduction. The insemination can be done into
the vagina, the same as with fresh semen.This type of semen is becoming
very popular amongst the breeders due to its easy handling, low cost,
it is easy to send and the regulations are often not as strict regarding
its transport and that of the nitrogen container in the airlines.To
inseminate with chilled semen, the ovulation time has to be previously
determined through a Progesterone test or with ultrasound control ultrasound
control. Once we know when the optimal insemination time is, we order
the semen collection and dilution. We should receive the semen within
14 to 30 hours after the extraction. The first insemination is done
on the arrival date and the second one 24 hours later.
The success rate is between 80-90% (very similar as that of fresh semen).
