No comment has been made on the rate of extension (dilution).
Differences of opinion exist varying from 1:4 to 1:40. We have not
bred enough goats to express an opinion on the number of spermatozoa
required to produce an acceptable conception rate. Several factors
apart from sperm numbers affect the conception rate of goats bred
artificially.

In summary dairy goat semen must be carefully prepared for
freezing if 40% of the cells in each sample are expected to survive
the freezing procedure and retain their fertilizing capacity. It is
believed that unless this survival rate (with active motility) is
obtained the samples should be used with expectation of poor results.
