BotuSemen 100 ml
A Semen Extender for transporting or preserving cooled semen.
The result of years of research, BotuSemen is a Semen Extender based on skimmed milk for transporting cooled semen or preserving it between 5°C and 15°C, as well as to dilute the ejaculate for pre-freezing centrifugation. Suitable for most stallions, and provides the best cost/benefit ratio. BotuSemen’s current formulation enables the sperm safe transportation until the moment of insemination.
How to Prepare:
Add all the content of this packet in 100 mL of sterile water and shake very well.
