Remember this sample is legally what you are selling. There are many private farms, vet clinics and universities that can complete semen evaluations on stallions. I strongly recommend the investment into some lab equipment and knowledge so that the stallion manager can perform a modified semen evaluation on a routine basis. There are a few facilities that can evaluate the cooled or frozen semen. Our facility, Gumz Farms, is one of the few that can evaluate cooled and frozen semen as well as offers this service to the public.
Many factors can influence a stallion's semen quality and ability to cool or freeze.
Therefore, checking the quality one time is not always a representation of your breeding program. If you are in a cooled or frozen semen program, it is critical that you warrant the product that you are selling. Potential litigation is present when there is failure to provide a viable product.
