I offer two types of Semen Analysis;

Microscope of CASA - Computer Assisted Semen Analysis

We offer comprehensive canine semen analysis to assess a stud dog’s fertility and overall reproductive health.

Using both traditional microscopic evaluation and advanced Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) with the Androscope by Minitube, we provide accurate, detailed assessments of semen quality — helping breeders make informed decisions and plan successful matings.

Our semen analysis service measures key fertility indicators including:

• Motility: how well the sperm move and swim
• Concentration: the number of sperm per sample
• Morphology: the shape and structure of individual sperm cells
• Progressive movement: the quality of forward motion essential for fertilisation

The CASA system uses high-resolution digital imaging and computer software to automatically evaluate thousands of sperm cells in seconds, giving a precise and objective fertility profile. When combined with skilled microscopic assessment, this delivers an unparalleled level of accuracy and confidence in results.

Regular semen testing is recommended for:

• Pre-breeding checks to confirm fertility before mating
• Routine health monitoring of active stud dogs
• Post-illness or medication assessments
• Evaluating semen for chilling, freezing or AI use

All testing is carried out in our clean, controlled environment using calibrated, specialist equipment. Results are clearly explained, with guidance and support available for next steps or follow-up testing if required.

Whether you’re preparing your stud for service or checking fertility performance, Calavey Pet Services provides trusted, professional analysis for accurate results and complete peace of mind. Working alongside a specialist fertility veterinarian, I can make referrals and obtain information to support the findings.
