Proper equine semen collection is essential for horse breeders. Equine AVs are the most commonly used method because they are the easiest way to collect a full sample. Revival Animal Health carries a wide selection of AV units, liners and accessories to streamline your collection processes.
Types of Equine AV Unit Models
While AV models can vary slightly in design, they each contain the same general format for proper sample collection. Each AV is made up of a hard shell surrounding a latex equine AV liner and a fillable water jacket. At the end of the AV is an attachable collection device that filters the unneeded portions for a pure sample.
The Colorado- and Missouri-style AVs are the two most common models in North America. Revival Animal Health carries both options from various top-quality brands. Here is a quick look at each of their benefits.
Colorado Style
The Colorado-style AV is a cylindrical AV that retains water temperature in its fillable water jacket much longer. While it can be more expensive to purchase initially, it is a durable design and will last much longer than other styles. Additionally, its latex liner is less costly to replace when it gets worn or damaged.
Missouri Style
The Missouri-style AV is cylindrical but with a spouted end. This design provides better stimulation for the horse and provides for a much more natural collection process. The design is also much lighter for the breeder to handle and is less expensive to purchase initially.
