BotuCRIO has in its formulation innovative substances to protect the sperm integrity. BotuCRIO combines the best components to protect cells from damage caused by freezing and to protect their fertility after thawing.
BotuCRIO offers the best motility parameters. The formulation of BotuCRIO results in best integrity, speed and viability of the sperm. In addition, it provides better motility after total and progressive thawing compared to other commercially available freezing extenders.
BotuCRIO shows the best fertility rates. Studies indicate that frozen stallion sperm with BotuCRIO have better fertility compared to other extenders. These in vitro results were confirmed during field experiments by providing higher pregnancy rates per cycle after insemination.
In international studies, BotuCRIO when compared to other freezing extenders always presented the best results of freezing and fertility. BotuCRIO is the most used semen extender in the world!
