PIGPLUS™ Product Details
PIGPLUS - SINGLE DOSE VIALS
Simple to use. Everything you need for sexing a single straw of frozen semen is contained within the vial. Semen is thawed as usual and then mixed in the PIGPLUS vial. Incubate for 20 minutes and the sexed semen is ready for insemination.
Description of PIGPLUS™
How does PIGPLUS work? The sexing process "stimulates" the fertility and motility of the X-chromosome bearing (female) sperm while "slowing" the fertility and motility of the Y-chromosome bearing (male) sperm. When inseminated, the sperm are "sorted" in the reproductive tract. The result is more ova fertilized by the X-bearing sperm, producing more piglets and more gilts.
Are pregnancy rates affected? Our research team and the experience of producers using the EMLAB SEXING TECHNOLOGY have seen pregnancy rates excel when using this product. Most producers are reporting 5-25% increase in conception rates!
Handling Instructions: Protect from light, heat, and moisture during storage and transport. We recommend transporting the product in a cool, insulated container.
Storage: Store in the freezer compartment (at or below -20oC) for up to two years.
Expiration date: PIGPLUS has a shelf-life of 2 years from date of manufacture when stored in the freezer.
Timing of insemination

BOARPLUS™ Product Details
BOARPLUS in a new semen sexing kit. Sexing of semen will never be easier. Everything needed for sexing a single straw of semen is freeze-dried in the mixing vial. It can be used with any ram and any frozen semen you already have in the tank. Semen is thawed as usual and mixed in the BOARPLUS vial. Incubate for 20 minutes and the sexed semen is ready for insemination.
Description of BOARPLUS™
How does it work? BOARPLUS works by "accelerating" the motility of only the Y-chromosome bearing (male) sperm while "reducing" the motility of the X-chromosome bearing (female) sperm. As a result, the male sperm arrive at the point of fertilization ahead of the female sperm. More ovum are then fertilized by the male sperm resulting in a higher percentage of males piglets. There is no need to sort sperm mechanically; the gender-biased sperm are sorted in the reproductive tract of the sow.
Are pregnancy rates affected? Conception rates are excellent using BOARPLUS.
Handling: Keep away from heat, moisture, and bright sunlight. We recommend transporting in a cool, insulated carton.
Storage conditions: For long-term storage, keep in the freezer (at or below-20oC) for up to two years.
Expiration Date: This product is a bio-pharmaceutical agent that is warranted from expiration for 2 years from the date of manufacture. Improper handling and storage will void this warrant.
