We need detailed knowledge of reproductive physiology in order to ensure that our customers are successful in the use of artificial insemination. Veterinarians and agro-scientists specialized in this field are responsible at Minitüb for product development and for consulting with our clients. The technical demands of semen processing and preservation also require knowledge and expertise in other fields, such as electronics, sensorics, mechanics, chemistry, cryobiology and many others. At Minitüb, these demands are met by specially-trained engineers and scientists.

For product development, our teams of veterinarians and engineers cooperate closely. Together, they offer all the knowledge and experience necessary to guarantee you the best possible results. Originating in Tiefenbach, Bavaria, Minitüb has established its competence over many years in more than 100 different countries all over the world. With several companies, highly-trained local representatives, and multilingual professionals handling exports, we keep in contact with the international AI industry. Minitüb is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company: Innovative ideas, modern production techniques and a keen appreciation of product quality are the basic ingredients of our knowledge and your success.

the control of the filling and printing machines may be connected. The basic module offers statistical evaluations of the semen production parameters.

IDENT software for electronic identification of bulls and collectors, printout of labels, collection plan Ref. No.

The IDENT software comprises the electronic iden-tification of the bull and the collector and an auto-matic printout of a label for each ejaculate with the desired data and barcode. In the laboratory, this information is transferred to the laboratory pro-gram via barcode scanner. The ejaculate data and semen parameters are then automatically recorded via the connected devices. Modules for the automatic semen dilution and for

Ref. No.

IDA is a flexible, multitalented and modular computer program. It automates ejaculate analysis including record keeping of thawing controls as well as extender dispensing and semen packaging in straws. The identification of each ejaculate can be entered manually, by barcode label or through a transponder. The ejaculate data file guarantees quick and precise ejaculate data management. The connected lab equipment like photometer or semen scale transfers analysis data to the lab computer where the calculations for further ejaculate processing are carried out. Automatic semen dilution and data transfer to the filling, sealing and printing machine greatly rationalize laboratory work. Production data is provided in real time for administration and sales.

IDA software for the bull semen lab: automatic recording and integrated processing of ejaculate data. Interfacing lab equipment operation, data

transfer to the automatic straw filling and printing line. Analysis and administration of bull master data. Data export to other computer programs.

Automatic Filling & Sealing

MPP Quattro

Product features

Up to 4 straws are filled and sealed per cycle. Number of straws processed per cycle can befreely selected: 1,2,3 or 4 straws at a time.

Modern touch-screen monitor for software control and display. Easy to operate, with color coded display. Continuous display of number of filled straws, machine status, straw size.Error display in wording.

Touch screen guided conversion from and to 0.5/0.25 cc straws with the same machine without exchange or replacement of any parts.

Exchangeable hopper for straws: hopper holds either 2.200 0.25cc straws or 1.300 0.5cc straws, one type of hopper suitable for both straw sizes. The filling and sealing area is completely closed, fully hygienic and safety conditions are therefore guaranteed.

Optimal control by the operator: process of filling of 4 straws at a time is performed right infront of the operator who can easily observe and control the process.

All 4 filling nozzles as well as all 4 suction nozzles are combined in 1 block each. This design allows very quick exchange between ejaculates, because each block is replaced in one step.

Machine can be operated at room temperature and in cold room or cabinet.

Dual ejaculate control through built-in adjustable balance and sensor at the filling tube:The filling machine switches automatically from 4 needle filling to 1 needle filling when the built-in balance indicates that the reservoir holding the ejaculate is almost empty. The tubings leading

Fully automatic filling and sealing machine for 0.25 and 0.5 cc semen straws

to the other 3 needles are then released and opened so that residual semen runs back into the reservoir and is filled into straws through the remaining needle. The flow through the last filling tubing is sensor controlled (check for air bubbles). Practically no semen is wasted and the ejaculate is used up to the very last drop.

Powerful ultrasound sealing unit with worldwide service network.

Integrated vacuum bottle and vacuum pump with sensor for vacuum adjustment, display of vacuum level and modification of vacuum level via buttons.

Latest technology PLC microprocessor control.

No wearing parts. Very easy and quick cleaning.

Very compact machine, modest space requirement.

Can be included into the Minitüb CombiSystem with the latest MiniJet printer model Leibinger Jet 2.

Nitrogen Gas Module for Liquid Semen Pro-duction, flushes each Minitube with nitrogen gas immediately before filling, thus ensuring that the bubble within the filled and sealed semen straw contains only nitrogen.Increases longevity of liquid semen due to anaerobic conditions

The Minitube Straw

Minitube straws can be used in many ways: for frozen semen preservation as well as for the pro-duction of fresh semen. During the last years, the use of fresh semen in the bovine AI industry has increased and become more important, specially as a tool to meet the high demand for top bulls.

The original Minitube with two sealing balls pro-vides fundamental advantages for both preserva-tion methods:

Gas-tight and hygienic seal of both straw ends with sealing balls

No waste of semen due to sperm cells trap-ped in the cotton plug

Reduced number of semen cells per dose

Maximum use and maximum profit of top bulls

Sealing Balls for Straws

Sealing balls for Minitubes, 0.5 cc French type straws and 0.5 cc Golden Ball straws

EcoStraws

All Minitüb semen straws are available as EcoStraws.

The EcoStraw plug absorbs 3 to 4% less sperm cells than the plug of the standard semen straw. An accordingly higher number of straws per ejaculate is achieved making better use of valuable genetic resources without bearing additional costs.

The EcoStraw is applied exactly the same as the standard semen straw: the process of filling, sealing and printing as well as the insemination is identical.

Combined with the process orientated Minitüb technology for professional semen production, the EcoStraw contributes to high lab performance.

Sealing balls for 0.25 cc French type straws and 0.25 cc Golden Ball straws

Top Bovine Genetics are today more valuable than ever. Are you prepared to accept unnecessary losses

of your top bulls’ semen?The EcoStraw helps to make the best of your

bestsellers and to maximize your business results.
