LIHASULA FINNSHEEP RAM SPERM CATALOGUE 2010
LIHASULA FINNSHEEP SPERM STATION is the first officially allowed ram sperm station in Finland. 11 different white ram lines represent the highest quality with combining performance data. Some of these ram lines are from very rare pedigree. Our team can also provide consultation in nutrition, reproduction and husbandry of the finnsheep. TOP FINNSHEEP BREEDING Lihasula started with the breeding of the white Finnsheep in 1992. We have been ranked among the three best farms almost every year since then. The mean lamb quantity per ewe was 2,9 and the average six- week weight was 17,9 kg per lamb in the 2008. We believe that the Finnsheep is the most fertile sheep race in the world. SOME GOOD REASONS FOR BREEDING THE FINNSHEEP - early fertile maturity - good fertility - multiple lambs per ewe - large lamb crop - capability to frequent lambing - low requirement of maintenance feed - good use of roughage - soft, lustrous and fine or semi fine wool - is not very prone to copper toxicity - clean breech belly and face - short tail INFORMATION ABOUT THE RAM SPERMA The sperm collection takes place in Lihasula premises. It is supervised by the town vet and the collection plus freezing is done by of veterinarian with the help of Matti Koivisto and another assistant person. The semen is packed in 0,25 Cassou straws and identification on the straws is ink-jet straw printed: breed, colour, animal ID, name of the ram, date Semen is collected and diluted in two extenders, equilibrated in two temperatures and centrifuged. Straws are filled, sealed, and placed on racks and placed in a nitrogen vapour freezer minutes.
