Semen Inventory Management

Yes. Track semen you own from outside stallions the same way you track semen from your own stallions. Record storage location, quality metrics, and usage. When you use it for breeding, the system links to the appropriate stallion record.

Each batch is recorded with a total dose count at collection. As you dispense doses-whether for breeding, shipping to mare owners, testing, or discard-the system automatically decrements the available count. You always know exactly how many doses remain per batch.

Record concentration (million/ml), motility percentage, and morphology assessment for each batch. Assign visual quality grades (Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor) for quick reference. Quality data helps you prioritize which batches to use for breeding vs. shipping. Pro plans add full semen analysis records, including multiple tests per donor or lot, detailed motion metrics, and attached lab reports.

Yes, on the Pro plan. Every semen analysis is stored as its own dated record, not a value that gets overwritten. Each donor has a quality history chart showing total motility, progressive motility, concentration, and morphology across every analysis on file. Each lot shows every test ever run on it-initial freeze, first post-thaw, follow-up re-tests. You can show buyers, vets, or partners the actual trajectory of a donor instead of one number from one day.

Yes, on the Pro plan. Drop a PDF or photo onto an analysis record and BreederHQ reads the report and pre-fills every field it can identify. You review the extracted values side-by-side with the original report, edit anything that needs correction, and commit. The original PDF stays attached to the record permanently. You always see and approve the values before they're saved.

Five types: fresh (at collection), chilled/cooled (before shipment or use), post-thaw (after thawing frozen doses), re-test (a follow-up analysis on an existing lot), and breeding soundness exam (BSE), a full evaluation tied to the donor, not a specific lot. The same lot can have all five over its lifetime, each as its own record.

Yes. The motility and concentration shown on each lot can pull from the most recent confirmed analysis instead of being a free-text field someone typed once. Every value is labeled so you know whether it came from a verified lab report or was entered manually. You always know which numbers are trustworthy and which are someone's recollection.

CASA stands for computer-assisted semen analysis. It's the lab equipment most reproductive vets use to measure motility, concentration, morphology, and detailed motion metrics like VCL, VAP, VSL, LIN, and STR. If your vet sends you a CASA report, BreederHQ can parse it, pre-fill the analysis record, and keep the original PDF attached. You don't need to know what any of the acronyms mean to use the feature. Just upload the report.

The system calculates expiration dates based on storage type: fresh semen (hours), cooled semen (days), frozen semen (years). Dashboard alerts highlight batches expiring within 30 days. You can set custom thresholds for alerts.

Yes. When dispensing semen for shipment, record the recipient name, address, carrier, and tracking number. This creates a complete chain of custody from collection through delivery. Link shipments directly to breeding attempts in breeding plans.

Yes. When you log a breeding attempt using AI, you can link it to a specific semen batch. The system automatically decrements the dose count and creates an audit trail showing which semen was used for which breeding.
