The temperature in my semen storage unit increases quite a bit when new semen is added to the unit. What is wrong?

First and foremost, check the temperature of the semen being added to the unit. If you add 20 or 30 bottles of warm semen, the storage unit can not instantly cool these bottles to 17°C. This will occur gradually during storage. Before newly added bottles are cooled completely the temperature in the unit will temporarily increase. To minimize the effect of this temporary increase, unused semen should be placed in a styrofoam box or insulated envelope until the unit returns to its normal operating temperature. Remember that frequent opening of the storage unit’s door can also raise or lower the inside temperature if the outside temperature is relatively high or low. Use extra caution with extreme temperatures and open the storage unit as little as possible.
