Extender

Hi. Question for those of you that have stud dogs - where do you buy extender? Just got word from my repro vet that they have enacted a new office policy and will no longer sell extender by itself - you must buy the whole shipping box with the extender. I am used to using Synbiotics but also have used Chill 5. It seems very ungreen not to be using the identical box that I have sitting on a shelf. Feeling frustrated.

Re: Extender

Call Minitube. They sell Chill 5 by the bottle.

Just google them for the number. I don't have it off the top of my head.

Thank you.

Denise, Camelot sells *INSEMIN-AID Semen Extender*. I never heard of it prior. Aren't most stud dog owners using Chill 5 or Chill 10 today? Just asking how it compares and how well it works for you. Thanks.

Re: Extender

Camelot only says good for 48 hours after extending. Chill 5 is still great after 4 days at least. Chill 5 is the way to go. I evaluated some semen after 96 hours and after about one minute on the slide all swimmers leaped into action....

Re: Extender

I've always had excellent results with Camelot Farms Inseminade. Out of curiousity, I saved a little chilled semen which arrived on a Tuesday. Each day I would take a drop and examine under a microscope....the semen was still excellent until ther following weekend....a full five days after collection and shipping!!!!
And it already has the egg mixed in it.
