Frozen Semen Export Semen
Each country has certain importing regulations that they must follow in order for semen to enter. These regulations give insight into which health test are necessary before, during and after the stallion is in quarantine or the resident of the collection facility. The regulations can be found listed on the USDA website. If a country doesn’t have their regulations posted on the USDA website, then the importer can contact their ministry of agriculture to obtain the import regulations. Sometimes the import regulations are in a different language and should be sent in English for the USDA to be able to review as well as Genetech Animal Reproduction.
Genetech Animal Reproduction will take care of all the necessary health testing that the country requires. If you are interested in exporting semen to certain countries, please call Genetech Animal Reproduction so we can explore the regulations and discuss what is needed.
