Hi, I've just tried them, nothing. Thanks though

Arrange for a local farm to bring a pig in for a visit, then get the teacher to err.. extract it themselves

Would absolutely love to see the Risk Assessment for that..

I love sitting down for a break with this forum. It is never dull . Always reminds me how varied our job can be.

Good luck with your search.

Safety Spectacles as a bare minimum you'd hope

All joking aside @Irene what is he planning on using it for
If you can get out of the teacher what they're doing with it then maybe you could mock up a fluid which would give the same test results?

UV reactive, protein positive test etc?

I'm going to have to ask....... why exactly do they want pig semen for that particular unit.....? As far as I know, it's not necessary; as the unit is specifically about hormones in the reproductive system, fertility, etc.....??? Just curious......

EDIT: what CovTech said..... Posted while I was typing.....

Just wondering...has the teacher checked for any religious issues with using pig semen?

Safety Spectacles as a bare minimum you'd hope

and a sensible choice of receptacle

Surely that would depend on whether or not the pig enjoyed the extraction..
