Always note the volume as it is an indication that a representative sample was collected; however, volume is influenced by the collection process and is therefore not a relevant measure. In other words, the volume of an EEJ‐derived semen sample should not be compared with ejaculates from the same or different bulls. The one exception is in cases of sperm accumulation, the “rusty load phenomenon,” where 25–40 ml of concentrated semen may be collected easily during a single ejaculation [2]. A typical EEJ‐derived semen sample is 1–5 ml.
