Answer: The sire owner on record does not have to be the same as the frozen semen owner as long as the records provided from the facility match the signatures on the Frozen Semen Litter Application.

Canine semen can be collected and preserved with state of the art extender products to provide necessary nutrients and cryoprotectants to the sperm cells during the process of chilling, freezing in liquid nitrogen vapors and then in liquid nitrogen itself.

This designation indicates that the blood type (or DNA) for that horse has been tested against the blood type or DNA of its sire or dam (but not both) and qualifies as its offspring.

No, but we recommend if it's possible that you do. Eventually, we anticipate this program will be able to collect carcass information on an individual animal. Knowing the sire and dam ID on each calf, will make this information more meaningful.

The younger the dog the better the semen quality! Any time after 10 months of age we can collect semen and freeze the sample.

Any dog collected for frozen or fresh-extended semen use after October 1, 1998, must be AKC DNA Profiled (Click here for more information). Litters produced by frozen semen count towards qualifying a dog as a Frequently Used Sire. However, if the semen was collected before October 1, 1998, a DNA Profile is not required.

When you are looking at a pedigree, look in the top right corner of the screen and press "Continue" (to return to your dog record) Press "Change Sire" again then remove "Lean Mac" as the sire of your dog (unless he is the Sire of your dog) After the sire and dam have been entered into a dog record GoodDogInfo determines if there are any sibling of that dog in the database. (try pressing "View Siblings" after you have entered a sire and dam. One of three things may have occurred.

Unlike fresh semen, which can live in the reproductive tract of a bitch for 5-7 days, frozen semen will only live 12-20 hours once thawed. It must preserve all it's energy to penetrate and fertilize the eggs, so the best conception rates (90% in our practice) are achieved with surgical insemination, where the semen is injected directly into the uterine horn. Since vaginal insemination has statistically low conception rates (under 20%), we do not suggest using your valuable semen in this fashion.

Answer: The transfer of Frozen Semen must be done at the facility that the semen is stored. We do require that all sire owners sign consenting to the transfer. The facility will notify AKC once the transfer has been completed on their records.

Although some stallions have similar results with frozen and fresh semen, AI with frozen semen, from most stallions, results in slightly lower fertility per cycle than similar inseminations with unfrozen semen. When stallions are selected for AI programs based on post-thaw semen quality, and mare management is controlled, per cycle pregnancy rates of 40 - 50% can be expected on average. This compares to 50 - 60% for cooled semen and 60 - 70% for immediately inseminated fresh semen.

Not all stallions can be frozen successfully. Based on studies conducted in Europe and experience of Select Breeders Service approximately 30% of all stallions produce sperm which are unable to withstand the stresses of freezing and thawing using current technology.

The average stallion provides sufficient sperm on an every other day collection schedule to produce 12-15 doses of frozen semen. Depending on sperm production of the individual this number may vary from 2-40 doses per collection. Typically 2-3 doses are used per estrous cycle, therefore each collection provides enough frozen semen to inseminate through 5-6 cycles.

If stored properly frozen semen can maintain viability for many years. Frozen semen is stored immersed in liquid nitrogen at -197°C (-320°F). At this temperature, metabolism is virtually halted. No one knows the ultimate lifespan of properly stored frozen equine semen. However, Select Breeders Service, Inc. has achieved pregnancies with semen frozen for more than 8 years.

A Sire may not be forcibly inducted into a House or Coven. A Sire may however petition a House or Coven for membership. Membership must be granted by the House/Coven Master. A Sire can start their own Coven. If a Sire wishes to start their own Coven they must contact The Prince. A Sire can choose to leave any House or Coven at any time. A Sire can also disband their Coven. Special Note! Because of Master and Sire marks, a member can achieve an artificial level of Sire.

This is a common belief of many veterinarians and breeders. The fact is that no one really knows what the life span of frozen vs fresh semen is. The types of damage that can occur to sperm membranes during the freezing and thawing process theoretically could reduce the time of survival in the mare's reproductive tract.

Manor Care stock can be registered either in your name (you would be the shareholder of record, or registered owner) or the name of a broker or bank that is holding your stock for you (the bank or broker would be the shareholder of record, or registered owner). If your stock is held by a broker or bank, it is referred to as being held in "street name," and you are considered a "beneficial" owner.

Multiple owners on one deed must designate one contact person who is the “owner of record” for RewardsSM purposes. Only the owner of record is eligible to receive Affinity RewardsSM.

You can use the 'Sire Link' at the bottom left hand of the city page. Simply copy the Sire Link (it's not a link so it's easier to copy) and instruct whoever you wish to be sired to follow the link. You can only have one sire. You can also obtain a sire by following the link if you already play the game. A confirmation dialoge ensures people cannot be 'tricked' into being sired.

Please visit the Patient Information Sheet on Semen Analysis. Directions to Memphis Fertility Laboratory can be found here.

In Arizona, the law states that if you keep a dog or cat and care for it for six consecutive days, you automatically become the owner of the animal. If you desire to keep the dog or cat for yourself, it is wise for you to contact Animal Care and Control to report finding the animal. That way you have proof as to the length of time it has been in your possession should the original owner come along at a later date and want the animal back.

By law, the tax bill is issued to the owner of the property as of lien date January 1st each year. If you purchased the property on or after January 1st, the prior owner's name will appear until the following year.

The collection of semen for the artificial breeding must be reported to the AKC with DNA certification. If the semen was collected after October 1, 1998, the sire must be AKC DNA Certified. The collector/storer must be on record with the AKC as familiar with and complying with the AKC regulations for record keeping and identification of dogs.

No. Select Breeders Service Europe will ship enough frozen semen to manage the mare through one complete heat period. The shipping tanks are specially designed cryogenic vessels that maintain the frozen semen at -197°C for at least two weeks. This allows SBSE to ship the semen to your vet well in advance of the anticipated insemination date avoiding the last minute "mad rush" to schedule semen shipments that are associated with cooled transported semen breeding.

Frozen blood can be used, but must be shipped frozen to OptiGen. Frozen semen can be used for most tests. Please read the details for use and shipping at the link "Instructions and Information".

Answer: The sire does not have to be AKC registered as long as he meets all the requirements of foreign registration and a three generation certified pedigree from an acceptable registry is submitted with the Frozen Semen application. These requirements can be found at http://www.akc.org/rules/special_registry_services.cfm?page=5.

Preferably WCEC would collect the stallion here at the clinic and have a test freeze done, to determine if your stallion is capable of freezing. If your horse has not been collected recently, we recommend that he is cleaned out a few times before the test freeze. This allows for a more accurate representation of his cell count.

Semen levels have been measured in 35 men taking PROPECIA® daily for 6 months. In 60% of the samples, PROPECIA® levels were undetectable. The mean PROPECIA® level was 0.26 ng/mL, and the highest level measured was 1.52 ng/mL. Using the highest semen level measured and assuming 100% absorption from a 5 mL ejaculate per day volume, human exposure through vaginal absorption would be 750 times lower than the exposure from the no-effect dose for developmental abnormalities in male Rhesus monkeys.
