Semen journal

Use this page to see all semen collections recorded for your stallions, check their details and manage the semen inventory.

What's on this page

• Filters: Use the Date filter to limit collections by date, the Fresh / Frozen filter to show only fresh or frozen semen, and the Search stallion... field to find a specific stallion’s collections.
• Semen collections table: Lists each collection with columns Collection date, Stallion (hidden when a stallion filter is active), Volume, Conc. (mil/ml), Moving cells, Inventory, and Storage. A badge shows the semen type, and an Incomplete label marks unfinished entries.
• New semen collection button: Adds a new collection (opens the save semen collection form).

Good to know

• The New semen collection button is only visible if you have permission to manage semen collections.
• When a stallion is selected in the filter, the Stallion column disappears because all rows belong to that stallion.
• An Incomplete label means the collection data is not fully entered yet.
• The Fresh / Frozen badge indicates the semen type; the Inventory column shows portions fresh or straws frozen with the “in stock” count.

Semen collection

Use this form to record a fresh or frozen semen collection for a stallion.

Stallion & collection details

• Pick the stallion (or pre‑filled) and collection date, select the collection station, and enter volume (ml), concentration (million/ml), moving cells (%) and morphology (%). Choose a shipping option (National, Europe or Worldwide). The TMNSC (million) updates automatically.

Type

• Select Fresh or Frozen. The choice determines which extra fields appear.

Fresh

• Enter Portions fresh and Minimum number of TMNSC per portion; the form calculates TMNSC per portion and concentration per portion. Order statistics are shown if available.

Frozen (existing mount only)

• For frozen semen (existing mount), set end concentration per straw (million/ml) to calculate volume, then fill in frozen‑semen details; TMNSC per straw and straws per portion are shown.

File & Note

• Upload a file (replaces any existing one) and add a note.

After saving

• The collection is added to the stallion’s semen list; the file becomes a download link.
