In 2024, forward thinking farmers were driving the trends of the dairy landscape and knew that adapting to technology developments was the key to success. Sexing Technologies® launched gender-sorted semen in the bovine industry in 2005, and in 2024, Ultraplus™, the highest fertility gender-sorted semen in the world, outsold any other form of collected semen!
Ultraplus™ is the most innovative gender-sorted semen with 90% or higher gender accuracy and the highest Conception Rates ever seen in the industry! With 56 owned and licensed labs in 20 countries, Sexing Technologies® is the pioneer in gender-sorted dairy and beef semen and provides over 80% of all gender-sorted semen around the globe. With these resources, Sexing Technologies® strives to serve and assist farmers in achieving all aspects of their genetic goals while bringing profitability and sustainability to the dairy and beef industries.
Sexing Technologies® has also added another Mobile Sorting Lab with production of gender-sorted semen in Europe. This self-contained Mobile Sorting Lab is self-sufficient as it only needs power and is equipped with a built-in generator for power outages.
These mobile labs are fully equipped with Sexing Technologies®’s most advanced sorting machines, allowing us to conveniently meet seasonal and market needs while providing gender sorting services to geographically widespread small breeders, livestock development boards and other farmers who prefer to save shipping costs on gender-sorted product.
Sexing Technologies® launched its first state-of-the-art gender- sorting laboratory mobile lab in India in 2018, followed by two more laboratories within two years. This new Mobile Sorting Lab is another advancement in providing Ultraplus™ gender-sorted semen to all breeders and farmers regardless of geographic location and size.
Ultraplus™, continues to push the boundaries of the industry, now being used for bovine, swine and equine! With gender-sorted semen from AcuFast™, swine producers select offspring of the desired gender for genetic improvement, doubling the genetic gain in selection nucleus and doubling the offer in multiplication farms. It also means simplified production as raising pigs of the same gender simplifies management practices, making it easier to balance growth rates, simplify diets, and increase uniformity.
Sexing Technologies® also introduced Equine gender-sorted semen in 2023, providing the opportunity to decide the gender of horses’ offspring. This process provides 95% gender accuracy in sorting X and Y sperm from stallions with state-of-the-art flow technology. The use of equine gender-sorted semen in conjunction with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) can create the next replacement stallion or breeding mare for any breeding program.
