What is the average motility of Saphiro’s fresh cooled sperm and how much is sent?
A. Aprox 1 billion progressively motile sperm (PMS) are packaged in each fresh cooled breeding dose. On a normal collection averaging 60-75% PMS, 1.3-1.5 billion total sperm will be packaged per breeding dose. Test cools and receiving Veterinarians report an average range of: 40-90% PMS at 24 hours 35-65% PMS at 48 hours 10-40% PMS at 72 hours (limited data) 0-15% PMS at 96 hours (limited data) We cannot guarantee sperm quality once it leaves our control. The above is for planning purposes only. 1 breeding dose will be sent per shipment. As a courtesy, if it is available, a second dose will be sent. In 2010 Saphiro had an 83% first cycle conception rate of mares bred with fresh cooled semen.
