Evaluation of Extended (Processed) Boar Semen
Routine evaluation of extended boar semen, once it arrives at the sow breeding farm can add to the “total quality control” of the breeding program.
- However, if proper procedures are not followed, erroneous conclusions may result.
- Good quality semen could be discarded
or
- Semen of poor quality could be used for inseminations and lowered reproductive performance may result.
