Multiple pairings?

Does anyone know the maximum number of pairings you can get from a male while still reaching ~100% fertilization?

Thanks,

Mike
 
From what I understand, 6 pairings of a mature, breeding sized male is 'standard'. I'm sure you could get more or less either direction depending on many different variables including age, size, etc.

Personally, the most I've paired any male was 5. Can't comment on fertilization as I had a range of females from mature to first timers. It was my first year breeding as well.

Since, I have usually bred each male a max of 4 times. I have personally noticed within my breedings that first time, unbrumated males have tended to be less fertile.

My breeder male (well proven over several years) was bred to 3 females last year with 100% fertilisation. Two of the females were first time breeders.

I'm sure other, more experienced, breeders will be able to offer further stats but thats my tuppence worth.

i have a now 16 year old male anery that i breed to 4/5 females every year.
he produces good yeilds, all are always good.
the reason i do it is he is het for amel, snow, ghost and hypo. so i always get a good variety from his ladies.
