During the current month of August , the Manager of Magapor Technical Department and expert swine veterinarian, Juan Luis Úbeda, offered formative lectures on swine reproduction around Latin America.  The yearly conference AMVEC 2010 was the departing point for this tour and held a practical review on testicle pathology. This session had great repercussion for more than 600 veterinarians attending the event. His second lecture was an exhaustive revision of the reproductive pathology of the sow that analyzed critical points and established the basis for obtaining maximum productivity from animals. >>>

Abstract presented by Juan Luis Ubeda, Magapor Technical Manager, at the 21st International Pig Veterinary Society (IPVS) Congress held in Canada.
Fertilizing potential assessment of an ejaculate or semen doses destined for swine artificial insemination (AI) includes evaluation of sperm quality traits like morphology, concentration, motility and functionality of sperm membrane. Nowadays, in Spain there are more than 60 boar stud supplying boar semen doses for farms, and in some cases, the distance between centres and farms is large. Nevertheless, semen doses should exhibit adequate fertilizing predictive parameters comply with standard limits. The aim of the present study was to assess sperm quality traits of seminal doses supplied by boar studs in Spain during last 5 years, and to investigate the correlations between these sperm parameters. >>>

Cell Shield Plus™ (CSP™) was first discovered by Minitube in 2008 to provide cold shock protection for sperm cells. This macromolecule is known for its cell membrane stabilizing properties, proving to be beneficial for many medical/pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. As an active ingredient in boar semen extenders, CSP’s™ properties protect the membranes and functions of sperm cells to maintain their full fertilization capacity. >>>
