Semen straws utilized in artificial insemination (AI) within bovine breeding programs are offered for purchase. These straws contain carefully selected genetic material from superior bulls, preserved for the purpose of enhancing desirable traits in subsequent generations of cattle. The product enables breeders to access a wide range of genetics without the costs associated with owning or transporting live animals.
The availability of these straws has revolutionized cattle breeding. It allows for rapid genetic improvement, disease control, and increased efficiency in production. Historically, breeders were limited by geographical constraints and the availability of suitable bulls. The advent of AI and cryopreservation techniques significantly broadened the scope of breeding programs, resulting in substantial advancements in milk production, meat quality, and overall herd health.
