Frozen Semen Bull Station

Frozen semen technology has been a breakthrough in Cattle and Buffalo development programme. Deep freezing of semen increases life span of spermatozoa as they go in suspended animation. It facilitates transportation to any distinct and remotest place under liquid nitrogen safely and without deterioration in quality. Loss of semen is reduced with optimum utilization of bulls through this technology.

Sanstha is running three Sperm Stations namely Frozen Semen Bull Station, Haringhata, Frozen Semen Bull Station, Salboni & Sperm Station Beldanga. All the three Stations are awarded with the IS/ISO: 9001:2008 Certificate by the Bureau of Indian Standards, Government of India.
