Frozen Buffalo Semen Distribution
Brief Description
The PCC maintains a Semen Processing Laboratory in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija (managed by PCC at CLSU), in Los Baños, Laguna (managed by PCC at UPLB), and in Maramag, Bukidnon (managed by PCC at CMU). These laboratories produce and process frozen semen from genetically superior sires or bulls to be used for upgrading the native carabaos through artificial insemination. The frozen semen are kept in liquid nitrogen tanks and are stored in Semen Bank at PCC National Headquarters and Gene Pool for distribution. Each straw approximately contains 50 million sperm cells with at least 30% post-thaw motility. Frozen semen is available to qualified AI technicians nationwide through systematized semen distribution system linked with AI technicians, cooperatives, DA-RFUs and LGUs.
