Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how much dog semen was imported into the UK under The Trade in Animals and Related Products Regulations 2011 in each of the last five years; and if she will provide a list of countries that it was imported from.

Data specifically on the import of canine semen is not available. This is because there is a commodity code on the trade systems, TRACES or the Import of products, animals, food and feed system (IPAFFS), for semen and embryos but canine semen is recorded under ‘other species’ in this code.
