Quality controls

Quality control

Before the semen can be commercialized a sample of each batch is evaluated after thawing at its motility parameters. All the semen produced must be certified according to Italian law concerning the total concentration of spermatozoa per dose, the percentage of progressively motile spermatozoa and the number of progressively motile spermatozoa per dose after thawing.
