The sperm storage revolution is here.
No-chill storage for up to 14 days
Enhanced fertility for all stallions
Cutting-edge science
Traditional chilled storage at 5°C has been used to slow down metabolism and cell deterioration, but low temperatures cause physical damage to the sperm cells. We have designed a storage medium that instead supports the metabolism and health of cells, so that chilling to 5°C for shipping and storage is no longer necessary. By providing the right mix of nutrients that mimic the fluids of the mare’s reproductive tract, we can support the sperm to survive much longer, without inducing the damage associated with chilling.
The optimal temperature for storage and shipment of stallion sperm in SpermSafe is +17°C, which can be easily achieved with a standard wine refrigerator. For transport, a number of insulated and temperature-controlled shipping solutions are available. SpermSafe-extended semen can also be shipped at 22°C (room temperature) but will survive for longer (and better maintain motility) with gentle cooling at 17°C.
