- 1. Among the 98% raisers at the backyard-level, how many of them were able to use these bucks?
- 3. How does the technology works? Steps in semen processing 1. Semen collection 2. Sperm cell evaluation 3. Semen dilution 4. Storage
- 4. Goat semen processing and production of semen extender mixtures AUBREY JOY M. BALBIN Biologist Isabela State University
- 5. The product Soybean lecithin based extender Can protect sperm cells from: - change in pH - change in temperature - long period of storage (frozen state at -196⁰C) One pack= 100mL of diluted semen extender= 50 semen doses.
- 6. About the Technology An extender that is used in processing genetic material (sperm cells) from superior buck for artificial insemination (AI).
- 7. About the Technology Increase production efficiency by producing more (extended) doses of semen for AI.
- 8. About the Technology The technology can help to promote continuous stock improvement, specially for the raisers at the backyard-level.
- 9. About the Technology Facilitates use of superior bucks at affordable cost and enables production of improved stocks.
- 10. Benefits Very effective in lengthening the viability of the spermatozoa: a. 48 to 110 hours b. Improved post thaw motility by 50% Using slow-freezing method, post thaw motility is recorded at 70% using Computer Aided Sperm Analyzer (CASA) A conception rate of 75% was recorded, 10% higher than the baseline without extenders
- 11. Competitive Advantage Alternative Technology/ Competition Use Cost per Unit/Technology Advantage of the proposed technology Use of breeder buck Natural mating 30-35,000.00/buck • No maintenance cost (High animal maintenance cost) • No risk for spread of disease (High risk for the buck (farm to farm use) to be exposed in diseases) • Genetic materials can be stored for longer period (Limited life span of the animal) Use of imported frozen semen AI 2,500.00/straw (or higher) • Lower cost when produced locally (Higher cost when imported)
