Produktbeschreibung

When talking about reproduction, specifically assisted reproduction, artificial insemination (AI) is a topic of great importance, as it is a technique used throughout the livestock sector, however, this technique has certain disadvantages based on the collection, dilution and cryopreservation of semen, mainly on sperm survival and therefore on fertilization and fertility rates. Sperm integrity depends on many factors, including the composition of seminal plasma, which is specific to each species, however, they have in common the presence of simple carbohydrates as a source of energy for sperm, antioxidants to prevent damage to sperm DNA, protein fractions, lipids and minerals. Growth, reproduction, production and other vital functions require minerals. In the course of these functions: each of the elements that have to be covered by an adequate intake is utilized, deposited or excreted.
