Rising trends in the use of frozen dog sperm: a retrospective study in Belgium and the Netherlands
The results of this study provides the first comprehensive analysis of the use and popularity of frozen sperm among dog breeders in Belgium and the Netherlands and suggest a change in breeding practices in recent years. The percentage of breeders resorting to sperm cryopreservation and the extent of frozen sperm use in current breeding strategies remain to be defined in future studies.
