# Semen journal

Use this page to see all semen collections recorded for your stallions, check their details and manage the semen inventory.

## What's on this page
- **Filters**: Use the **Date** filter to limit collections by date, the **Fresh / Frozen** filter to show only fresh or frozen semen, and the **Search stallion...** field to find a specific stallion’s collections.
- **Semen collections table**: Lists each collection with columns **Collection date**, **Stallion** (hidden when a stallion filter is active), **Volume**, **Conc. (mil/ml)**, **Moving cells**, **Inventory**, and **Storage**. A badge shows the semen type, and an **Incomplete** label marks unfinished entries.
- **New semen collection** button: Adds a new collection (opens the **save semen collection** form).

## Common tasks
### Add a new semen collection
1. Click the **New semen collection** button.
2. Fill in the required fields (Date, Stallion, Fresh / Frozen, Volume, Concentration, Moving cells, Storage) and press **Save**.
3. The new entry appears in the list.

### Find a collection for a specific stallion
1. Type the stallion’s name in the **Search stallion...** field.
2. The list updates to show only that stallion’s collections.
3. Click a row to view full details if needed.

### Sort or check inventory
1. Click a column header such as **Collection date** or **Inventory** to sort the list.
2. On mobile, tap the sort button (shown as a chevron) to choose a sort order.
3. The table refreshes with the new ordering.

## Good to know
- The **New semen collection** button is only visible if you have permission to manage semen collections.
- When a stallion is selected in the filter, the **Stallion** column disappears because all rows belong to that stallion.
- An **Incomplete** label means the collection data is not fully entered yet.
- The **Fresh / Frozen** badge indicates the semen type; the **Inventory** column shows portions fresh or straws frozen with the “in stock” count.

## Semen collection {#save-semen-collection}

Use this form to record a fresh or frozen semen collection for a stallion.

### Stallion & collection details
- Pick the stallion (or pre‑filled) and collection date, select the collection station, and enter volume (ml), concentration (million/ml), moving cells (%) and morphology (%). Choose a shipping option (National, Europe or Worldwide). The TMNSC (million) updates automatically.

### Type
- Select **Fresh** or **Frozen**. The choice determines which extra fields appear.

#### Fresh
- Enter **Portions fresh** and **Minimum number of TMNSC per portion**; the form calculates TMNSC per portion and concentration per portion. Order statistics are shown if available.

#### Frozen (existing mount only)
- For frozen semen (existing mount), set end concentration per straw (million/ml) to calculate volume, then fill in frozen‑semen details; TMNSC per straw and straws per portion are shown.

### File & Note
- Upload a file (replaces any existing one) and add a note.

### After saving
- The collection is added to the stallion’s semen list; the file becomes a download link.
