Why use SemenRate?

Sire selection represents a critical management decision for livestock breeders. Reproductive capability of the sire can impact the economic performance and environmental impact of the immediate breeding season. Yet, recent UK studies suggest that 20-30% of fertility tested bulls are subfertile.

Previously sire fertility evaluation has relied solely on microscopy and the human eye to assess whether the sire is optimum for use within the herd. SemenRate can add objective assessment of motility, concentration and parts of the spermatozoa that cannot be assessed with standard microscopy.

A combination of technologies gives invaluable information regarding the quality of semen and its potential to perform in the field. All the parameters measured can have an influence on semen performance.
