Control points in the preparation of semen doses: temperature control and quality parameters (1/2)

The impact of semen used for post-cervical AI is 2-3 times bigger than that used to produce cervical insemination doses; therefore, preparation of the doses should follow an even stricter control program.

Current state of post-cervical insemination in multiparous, primiparous and nulliparous sows

It is necessary to find alternatives to definitely implement this technique in primiparous sows and start its use in gilts.
