Nationwide Mobile Semen Collection

Maximizing the reproductive potential of your premium sires starts with safe, highly-controlled collection. Based in Pretoria, our expert team travels nationwide to perform bovine and ovine semen collection right on your farm. This approach dramatically reduces animal stress and eliminates the risks and costs associated with transporting valuable livestock to a facility.

We strictly adhere to industry-leading sanitary standards during the collection process to prevent contamination, ensuring the sample remains viable and clean for laboratory processing and future Artificial Insemination.
