       ...every Sperm Cell Counts!

Have you ever wondered why Alta decided to produce and offer high value semen in ¼ cc straws, or as we have branded it, the Advance semen straw? Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated that sperm survive better in the Advance straws compared to in the conventional 0.5 cc straws. Logically, when applied under conditions in the field where each sperm cell counts, the Advance straw will more often result in a pregnancy than the same semen packaged in 0.5 cc straws.


Number of semen batch collections evaluated per bull:
Rolex 116, Tomahawk 53, Marshall 115, Activist 98,
Aaron 135, Granado 126, Smarty 130

Of course the proof is in the fertility results you achieve in your herd. Have you checked your bredsums lately and looked at the performance of some of Alta’s bulls? If you haven’t been using the Advance straw isn’t it great to know that your fertility could be even better?

Using the 2004 semen production of some high demand Alta sires we can see that for each sire the survival rate of sperm in the Advance straw was equal or superior to freezing and thawing in 0.5 cc straws.

The first step is to order a universal insemination gun from your Alta sales representative. Then simply order your bulls in the Advance package and experience what many have already learned: every sperm counts! You can get that small but significant advantage with the Advance straw because, simply put, it preserves sperm function better!

For best Pregnancy results, ask for ConceptPlus bulls in the Advance semen package!
