Anybody know if there is anything that can added to blood to stop it coagulating before i get the chance to freeze it
 
Asprin, Warfrin, Brodifacoum, Phenindione or Heparin, however i presume you have a need for this blood, proably for consumption? as such i wouldnt be using any of the anticoagulants i have mentioned for obvious reasons, and geting hold of them could be difficult.

As said salt might work for your application.

If you are collecting it fresh/warm before it starts to coagulate,stir it with a stick and the clotting will form around the stick which is easily removed any smaller lumps can be sieved out before freezing...

Steve,
I can't claim great experience and the above two approaches may well be better, but in my case the measure was something like a tablespoon or so to something approaching a pint of blood. That is pretty approximate as we didn't have a measure.
