Canine semen processing for chilled shipment
Keywords:
Canine, chilled semen, processing, shipping, veterinarian role
Abstract
Advanced reproductive techniques for dogs have become commonplace in general practice during last decade. Most procedures performed in these practices are based on what is known for semen processing and shipping in the equine industry. This presentation reviews current literature of what is known on canine semen processing and attempts to standardize techniques to maximize their successful use in clinical settings.
