Collection and preservation of spermatozoa following the death of an animal ("gamete rescue"), whether in the wild or in captivity, represents an important conservation & management tool. |
| • |
Genetic material (in the form of spermatozoa) can be stored indefinitely, and potentially used to produce offspring long after the male has died through AI or other assisted reproductive technologies. |
| • |
For several zoological species, sperm from live males is also banked on a routine basis once training for voluntary semen collection has been achieved. |

Our center also collects semen from anaesthetized males using electroejaculation. |
