Project

CanIFreeze project: A tool to increase genetic diversity in Belgian pedigree dogs. (CanIFreeze project-1)

The difference in seminal plasma (proteins and extracellular vesicles) between dogs with different sperm freezing resilience, will be investigated. Based on these results the cryopreservation process will be optimized on individual dog level. This optimized protocol will be attempted to start an open semen bank, based on semen donation, to increase the genetic diversity in pedigree dogs on the long-term.
