„We switched from BTS to Novistar in January 2024 and have been very pleased with the results. The long-term extender gives us more flexibility in our processes and the semen doses maintain their quality well even after several days of storage. Overall, we're happy with Novistar and feel that it offers a good balance between cost and performance."

Freshly collected boar spermatozoa are very sensitive to cooling and rapid dilution. Any change in temperature can affect their ability to fertilize.
