👉Get the Right Amount of CaniPlus Semen Extender for a Successful Breeding
Choosing the correct extender product size (10 mL or 20mL) and dilution ratio helps protect semen quality, match the final insemination volume to the dog’s size, and avoid wasting product.
👉Key Limitation
Once opened, extender sterility and performance cannot be guaranteed after 24 hours. Use Extender Immediately after opening. This is caused by cross-contamination of the product or by evaporation that affects the product. If unopened, the extender is good until the printed expiration date.
👉How Much CaniPlus Semen Extender Should I Use?
The recommended extender ratio depends on semen concentration:
250–750 million/mL: Use a 1:3 ratio (1 part semen, 3 parts extender)
750–1,250 million/mL: Use a 1:4 ratio ( 1 part semen, 4 parts extender)
1,250+ million/mL: Use a 1:5 ratio (1 part semen, 5 parts extender)
👉If you do not know the semen concentration, use a 1:3 ratio.
👉Typical canine semen concentration is often around 100–500 million/mL, with many samples falling around 200–300 million/mL. Sources: Canine and Feline Theriogenology; Manual of Small Animal Reproduction and Neonatology
👉Which CaniPlus Canine Semen Extender bottle Size Should I buy: 20ml or 10ml?
👉Choose Caniplus Semen Extender in the 10 mL bottle if:
You need less than 10 mL of extender
You are doing a single insemination
You are working with a smaller dog
You collected less than 3 mL of semen
👉Choose Caniplus Semen Extender in the 20 mL bottle if:
You need more than 10 mL of extender
You are doing multiple inseminations
You are working with a larger dog
👉Total Insemination Volume Per Breeding
Use the dog’s size as a general guide:
Under 22 lb: 2–5 mL total volume
22–44 lb: 5–10 mL total volume
Over 44 lb: Up to 20 mL total volume
Source: Minitube International
👉How to Calculate CaniPlus Semen Extender Amount
Extender amount = Final insemination volume − Semen volume
👉Example: If your final volume is 8 mL at a 1:3 ratio, you would use:
2 mL semen
6 mL extender
8 mL total volume
👉Simple Rules
If you do not know the concentration, use 1:3
Match the total volume to the dog’s size
For 1 breeding, 10 mL is usually enough
For 2 breedings, 20 mL is usually the better choice
Begin by collecting semen from the male dog using a suitable collection method.
Transfer the collected semen into a clean, sterile container, ensuring minimal exposure to air.
Allow the semen to cool to room temperature to stabilize before mixing with the extender to prevent any potential shock to the sperm cells.
Add the appropriate amount of extender to the container, following the manufacturer's guidelines. The extender-to-semen ratio may vary depending on the specific product.
Gently mix the semen and extender solution, ensuring thorough and even distribution.
Store the extended semen in a specialized semen storage container, such as a chilled or frozen storage unit, depending on the desired preservation method.
Seal the container securely and maintain the recommended storage temperature and conditions to ensure the longevity of the sperm cells.
Prior to insemination, it is essential to verify the viability and motility of the extended semen through laboratory analysis or under a microscope.
When ready for insemination, thaw or warm the extended semen to the appropriate temperature, following the guidelines provided by the extender manufacturer or reproductive specialist.
Finally, perform the artificial insemination procedure using the extended semen, following accepted protocols and guidelines.
👉Remember, Caniplus canine semen extenders serve as a crucial tool in preserving and maintaining the quality of canine semen, allowing for successful artificial insemination and contributing to reproductive programs and the overall improvement of canine genetics.
