Semen Archive has been introduced to store genetic material from scrapie susceptible rams that, over time, will be bred out of the national flock as part of the National Scrapie Plan for Great Britain (NSP-GB) and the Northern Ireland Scrapie Plan (NSP-NI).

The semen will be collected from native British breeds and SAMB will be working with breed societies and others to identify and nominate donor rams.

Further information can be obtained from Semen Archive Management Board or by contacting the Archive Breed Liaison Manager at info@semen-archive.co.uk
