Its isn't cheap but they are a very well thought of clinic. Just sent them my annual storage fee to keep it on ice another year.

Good old fashioned hand job. We paid $75.00 for the collection, then a storage fee based on the number of straws. The Repro guy came out to our place, and did the collection. He has a mobile lab and primarily works on whitetail deer and rough stock, but has collected a handfull ( no pun intended) of dogs. I think Brittmore Animal Hsopital was considerably more money, but it is also everyday business for them.

Title: Re: semen retrieval and storage Post by: charles on January 25, 2011, 02:04:17 pm sounds like the purchase of my personal tank would be better. if my memory serves me correct, it uses liguid nitrogen for the freezing aget, correct? if so, is there any special paperwork or hazmat certification required before purchasing the cooling agent?
