Field comparisons of reproductive performance on the effects before and after implementation of Sperm Vision

摘要

A successful mating is composed of many elements such as proper heat checking, proper timing of insemination, and a high-quality dose of semen with adequate cells to create a pregnancy with good litter size. In addition, other environmental influencessuch as seasonal infertility, proper semen handling, disease status, and nutrition also contribute to the overall fertility of the female, which can have an impact on fertility. Estimates of semen concentration that exceed the actual value reduce the number of sperm cells per dose. Likewise, doses containing too many sperm decrease revenues for the boar stud, reduce potential for genetic progress, and limit potential shelf life of that dose of semen.
