Phantom training consists of teaching the stallion to mount a "phantom" mare and ejaculate into an artificial vagina. The stallion is collected one time the first day, and then on two occasions, one hour apart on the next day, or day after. The first of the 2 collections is discarded, serving only as a "clean-up". The second and third collections are taken at least one hour apart, and both samples are evaluated for sperm concentration, motility and morphology.

Phantom training - A $500 fee is charged to teach a stallion to collect off the phantom. This fee covers at least three successful collections, an evaluation of fresh and cooled semen,  and extender testing.

Once the stallion has been collected it is advisable to evaluate the ability of the stallion's semen . The semen is evaluated & extended using several different extenders & concentrations. Samples are then packed in a shipping container & evaluated at several different times: 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours.

Arrangements for Mare care must be made before beginning of breeding season.

Some Breed Registries require a veterinarian to be present at the time of semen collection or insemination of the mare in order to allow registration of the resulting foal. The same is required of semen collected for export, which will also require certain export permits. If these are a requirement, let us know. We will arrange scheduling, and the Veterinarian's and Government fees will be charged out at cost. Please call us to discuss these special requirements further.
