In the third and last part of \u201cTips for collection\u201d, our R+D+i Biotechnology \/ Veterinary department offers some pieces of advice for the handling and care of the ejaculate during the collection process. We hope they can help you.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The care of the sperm cell should begin during the extraction, and, for this, we must use materials that do not have a spermatotoxic effect<\/strong> when contacting the sperm. Therefore, we must be sure that certain materials such as gloves for collection, filters and collection bags, artificial cervix used in the case of the automatic collection, etc., lack this effect, which would lower the quality of the ejaculate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In relation to this, we take the opportunity to show you an article written by Kara Stewart, Brad Belstra, and W.L. Flowers and published a few months ago in National Hog Farmer, which refers to the possible negative effect of the collection gloves. Besides, we remind you that in Magapor we perform sperm cytotoxicity tests on our gloves<\/u> for sale.<\/p>\n

    1. To avoid the temperature fluctuations of the ejaculate, and to preserve its temperature until the moment of the analysis, all material should be tempered at 37\u00baC before contacting the ejaculate. For this, we will use an insulated thermo flask for the collection<\/strong>, in which we will introduce a cup\/bag with filter<\/strong>. To help us maintain everything tempered, we can install a stove at 37\u00baC in a room adjacent to the collection area.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. A tendency in recent years is to pour about 100-150 ml of extender tempered at 37\u00baC in the collection container, with the following advantages:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
