For over 25 years, the Minitube 0.25 ml and 0.5 ml semen straws have been used worldwide as a standard for the freezing of semen from bulls, stallions, boars, and many other species. Minitube’s quality control process, production techniques, and material selection ensure for a reliable product that consistently exceeds industry standards.
EcoStraws are used in exactly the same way as standard semen straws:
identical processes for filling,
identical processes for sealing,
identical processes for printing,
identical processes for insemination.
EcoStraws feature a plug with a shorter inner wick section that absorbs 3 - 4 % fewer sperm cells than the corresponding symmetrical plugs of standard semen straws. They are ideal for overnight equilibration of semen at refrigerated temperatures.
EcoStraw Benefits
Better utilization of available sperm cells per ejaculate because fewer sperm cells are lost in the plug
Yield a larger number of semen straws per ejaculate
Better use of valuable genetics without adding additional costs
Ideal for overnight equilibration and fresh semen preservation
