Tufts Veterinary Field Service offers semen collection and cryopreservation (freezing) for clients looking to use their own genetics for artificial insemination, would like to preserve genetic access to a specific male, or would like to sell semen from high quality rams or bucks.
In this process, a small group of females are synchronized by the client to be in estrus (heat) in order to entice the male at the time of collection. These females are brought to the clinic along with the male(s) to be collected. Due to biosecurity concerns, Tufts Veterinary Field Service does not offer females, they must be provided by the client.
If semen is being cryopreserved for sale, any desired health testing may be completed on the buck immediately after semen collection at the clinic. Tufts Veterinary Field Service offers short-term cryopreservation storage of semen and/or embryos for clients. Please ask the office for options for long-term frozen storage.
