A Satisfactory Method of Shipping Dairy Bull Semen Long Distances*

Eric W. Swanson and H. A. Herman

Department of Dairy Husbandry, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo.

ABSTRACT

A simple, dependable, and practical method of shipping semen long distances is described. The package consists of a small insulated ice cream shipper, a water-tight metal can to fit the shipper, crushed ice, and a vacuum bottle. Satisfactory semen storage temperatures (35 to 50° F.) were maintained in this shipper for 84 hours at atmospheric, temperature of 80° F. Results of inseminations with shipped semen requiring 48 to 72 hours in transit were very satisfactory for stored semen.
