Semen quality is rarely lost at the laboratory. It is lost at the handoff points — the airport tarmac, the customs hold, the second carrier who does not know the shipper has a nitrogen clock.
Know your hold time
Every dry shipper we dispatch carries a minimum seven-day nitrogen hold with a documented fill weight. We plan routes so that no shipper is in transit beyond 60 percent of its hold time.
Documents that prevent a hold
The veterinary health certificate, the airline’s dangerous-goods declaration and the import permit must match line for line. A single mismatched batch number can cost a week — enough to exhaust a static shipper.
