Stallion Collection
FOR IN-HOUSE AND OFF-FARM STALLIONS
​
At Davidson Equestrian, we offer comprehensive stallion collection services, providing the highest standards in semen quality and handling.
Our facilities are equipped to cater to both resident stallions and those brought in specifically for collection.

Semen Collection Process
​
-
Collection: Semen is safely collected using an artificial vagina (AV) as the stallion mounts a dummy mare, providing a controlled environment for both the stallion and the collection process.
-
Assessment and Extender Medium: After collection, the semen is immediately assessed for quality, with optimal sperm concentration ranging from 30-50 million sperm per 1 ml. The semen is then placed in an extender medium, to protect it from temperature changes during storage and transit.
-
Shipping and Quality Control: We coordinate reliable semen transport through services, with same-day delivery to Melbourne and Sydney. A sample is retained for in-house quality control to confirm the semen's viability upon arrival at its destination.
