In cattle and sheep farming, frozen semen insemination has become a core method for improving breed quality and increasing reproductive efficiency. However, many farmers encounter the following problems:
• Frozen semen is expensive to buy, but its motility decreases during use.
• Liquid nitrogen is consumed quickly, requiring frequent replenishment and resulting in high costs.
• Conception rates are unstable after insemination, fluctuating wildly.
• Frozen semen is damaged during transportation, leading to significant losses.
In fact, 80% of these problems are related to one piece of equipment—the liquid nitrogen tank.
Choosing the right liquid nitrogen tank can not only reduce liquid nitrogen loss but also directly improve frozen semen motility, thereby increasing the conception rate. Below is a practical guide to preserving frozen semen for cattle and sheep.
I. Why does a liquid nitrogen tank affect the conception rate?
Frozen semen needs to be stored in a stable environment of -196℃. Temperature fluctuations will decrease sperm motility, directly leading to:
• Reduced insemination success rate
• Increased return to estrus rate
• Frozen semen spoilage, increasing costs.
A liquid nitrogen tank with a high evaporation rate experiences large daily temperature fluctuations, naturally affecting the motility of the frozen semen. A well-insulated liquid nitrogen tank can maintain frozen sperm at a stable low temperature for extended periods, resulting in higher sperm motility and a naturally higher conception rate.
II. Choosing a Liquid Nitrogen Tank: Key Parameters
1. Daily Evaporation Rate
This is the most crucial indicator. A lower evaporation rate means slower liquid nitrogen consumption, more stable temperature, and safer frozen sperm storage.
2. Effective Volume
Don't just look at the total volume; look at the "effective volume." A larger effective volume allows for a greater storage capacity of frozen sperm, and a more optimal distance between the liquid nitrogen and the sperm ensures a more stable temperature.
3. Structural Design
• Double-layer vacuum insulation structure (stronger insulation)
• High-strength aluminum alloy material (impact resistant and durable)
• Sealing plug design (reduces evaporation)
• Number of lifting tubes (determines the number of frozen sperm tubes that can be stored)
A better structure results in lower liquid nitrogen loss and safer frozen sperm storage.
Real Case Study: Conception Rate Increased by 30% After Switching to Liquid Nitrogen Tanks
A beef cattle farm previously used ordinary liquid nitrogen tanks, which had the following problems:
• Liquid nitrogen needed to be replenished weekly
• Unstable frozen semen motility
• High rate of return to estrus after mating
After switching to low-volatility liquid nitrogen tanks, the effects were remarkable:
• Liquid nitrogen consumption reduced by 40%
• Frozen semen motility remained more stable
• Conception rate increased from 55% to 72%
A direct increase of over 30%.
III. If you are currently choosing a liquid nitrogen tank, I can help you choose one for free. Different sizes of farms require completely different liquid nitrogen tank models.
I can help you with the following free of charge based on your situation:
• Calculate your required volume
• Recommend a suitable model
• Calculate how much liquid nitrogen you can save per year
• Provide you with the best solution for frozen semen preservation
You only need to tell me:
1. Are you raising cattle or sheep?
2. How much frozen semen do you have?
3. Is storage the primary purpose or is transportation necessary?
I can give you the most suitable configuration.
