VERDUNNER
K.I. Verdunner Ghent
De "Ghent diluter" bevat eidooier, melk en verschillende buffers en suikers. Deze ingrediënten verzekeren een optimale
bescherming en voeding van de spermacellen. Er werden uitmuntende resultaten behaald in België en in verschillende andere
landen. De "Ghent diluter" is van een excellente kwaliteit, die continu wordt opgevolgd. Elke geproduceerde batch van de
"Ghent diluter" wordt terdege gecontroleerd op bacteriële, schimmel- of gistinfectie, alvorens te worden vrijgegeven. Eveneens
wordt de zuurtegraad en de osmolariteit gecontroleerd. De batches die niet voldoen werden onmiddelijk vernietigd. De "Ghent
diluter" is gegarandeerd infectievrij en wordt internationaal gewaardeerd. De verdunner wordt diepgevroren geleverd.

Blauwe dop (= met glycerine) = voor het invriezen van sperma

We need detailed knowledge of reproductive physiology in order to ensure that
you are successful in the use of artificial insemination. Veterinarians and
agro-scientists specialised in this field therefore, are responsible at Minitüb for
product development and for consulting with our clients. The technical
demands of semen processing and preservation also require knowledge and
expertise in other fields, such as electronics, sensorics, mechanics, chemistry,
cryobiology and many others. At Minitüb, these demands are met by specially-
trained engineers and scientists.

For product development, our teams of veterinarians and engineers cooperate


closely. Together, they offer all the knowledge and experience necessary to
guarantee the best possible results.

With Minitube of America's international centre for biotechnology in


Wisconsin, USA, the Minitüb group relies on high capacity facilities for training
and research. Here we conduct fundamental research concerning assisted
reproduction technologies as well as applied research that leads to improved
techniques in production, evaluation and conservation of semen and embryos.
Important elements are furthermore biotechnical services for our customers,
as well as training and technology transfer.

Originating in Tiefenbach, Bavaria, Minitüb has established its competence


over many years in more than 100 different countries all over the world. With
several companies, highly-trained local representatives, and multilingual
professionals handling exports, we keep in contact with the international AI
industry. Innovative ideas, modern production techniques and a keen
appreciation of product quality are the basic ingredients of our knowledge and
your success.

We thank you for your interest and your confidence placed in us.

SEMEN COLLECTION

The first step in semen collection is one of the most important. A higher quality of semen is collected
when the stallion is at ease and comfortable with the dummy mare. I.M.V.’s unit is designed with the
comfort of the stallion in mind, and at the same time provides the security desired by the handler.
Right or left handed, the choice is yours to collect on “your” side. The dummy mare is manufactured
in galvanized steel and covered with leather and rubber padding weighing approximately 350 kilos.
It is capable of withstanding the stress of force from the stallion mount. The height and angle are
adjustable to fit all breeds and its shape conforms to the mare anatomy. Easy to clean and disinfect
between collections.

SEMEN MEDIA

INRA 96 / 200 ml semen medium


for equine fresh semen (per 4) 016441

Medium for stallion semen. Improves preservation


and maintains the fertility potential up to 48 hours.
Sterile and ready-to-use, it is formulated using
the purified fraction of milk micellar proteins that
have proven to highly protect sperm cells. Contains
antibiotics (Penicillin and Gentamycin) and a
fungicide (Amphotericin B)

Eqcellsire equine semen washing and


centrifugation medium 018753

Eqcellsire is a centrifugation extender


that allows you to harvest 30% more sperm cell
than current methods. This unique cushion is set
at the bottom of the centrifugation tube. Once spun,
the sperm pellets floats between two layers
of solution causing less damage and giving you
more viable sperm. The Eqcellsire can be used
for both freezing semen and fresh cooled semen.

Eq'cellfreeze QSF 1 litre (per 10) 019957

NEW
equine semen. Presented in liquid form (500 ml),
the user adds 500 ml of skimmed milk UHT to
