This technical article published by Tatiana Pash explores the critical issue of bacterial contamination in boar semen and its impact on semen quality. Bacterial contamination can occur at various stages, from collection to packaging, affecting nutrient availability, sperm integrity, and fertility rates. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding contamination sources, such as the animal, environment, and personnel, and implementing stringent hygiene practices. Proper facility design, staff training, and regular monitoring are essential to minimize bacterial presence and ensure high-quality semen.
Furthermore, the article highlights the benefits of adopting innovative technologies like the Collectis System and Bactibag. The Collectis System reduces contamination through automated semen collection, while Bactibag technology prevents bacterial proliferation and extends semen shelf life. These advancements enhance ejaculate quality, improve fertility rates, and ensure high biosecurity and genetic value. By implementing these measures, breeding facilities can significantly improve semen quality and overall breeding success.
