Frequently Asked Questions
STUD SERVICE
Yes, we offer worldwide shipping of semen from our top Lusitano stallions. We work with reliable shipping partners to ensure that the semen arrives in optimal condition, regardless of your location. Contact our service to clarify the import process to the country of destination.
Fresh semen is collected and used within a short period, usually within 24-48 hours, ensuring high motility and viability. Frozen semen is stored at ultra-low temperatures and can be kept indefinitely. While frozen semen offers more flexibility in timing and international shipping, it may have slightly lower motility and viability rates compared to fresh semen. However, both options are effective for breeding when managed properly.
Shipping fresh semen outside of the EU is possible but involves additional logistical considerations. It requires expedited shipping methods and larger timing coordination according to each country's regulatory body. Both sides need approval between import and export.
