Have you ever thought about the quality of semen you inseminate into your herd? Independent vets have shown that conception rates are 7.8% (UK) and 10% (Argentina) higher if semen motility can be sustained for longer than 2 hours. What other prospect do you have to increase productivity by this magnitude on your farm? We need your help to scale up this study ten-fold and we will pay each qualifying farmer up to £1 per cow for good quality data that can be used in this study (Terms and Conditions apply).
Participate in a global study to understand the link between semen longevity and conception rates
Share your on-farm data with our research team and contribute to the world’s first study investigating the relationship between semen longevity and conception rates on the farm. Join our mission to collect data for over 20,000 inseminations across the globe to generate a comprehensive understanding of semen quality and fertility outcomes to enhance future productivity across a wide range of farms. Results will be analysed and reported in peer-reviewed publications to enable our vets and farmers to understand how to use semen data on farm to get the best results. This new knowledge is anticipated to help improve food security and farm profitability for all. Let’s evolve!

Bull fertility testing matters
Bull fertility testing is vital for successful breeding, improving efficiency, genetic diversity, and herd productivity while selecting superior sires.
Poor handling affects semen motility
Removing a straw from the tank, even for a short period of 10 seconds (e.g. to read the bull’s name), can cause a reduction of 11%
