How many straws are in a dose?
Most frozen semen doses are contained in three or four 0.5 ml straws. But, it can be contained in from two to eight straws. The number of straws per dose varies according to the collection. The main thing is that you will receive a full breeding dose. Semen is also sometimes packaged in a single 5.0 ml straw, about the size of a soda straw. There are also a few doses comprised of tiny 0.25 ml straws. The important thing is the number of motile sperm post-thaw.
