This standard operating content breaks down the full boar semen collection process step by step. The workflow begins with ear tag verification, hand washing, and the use of double disposable gloves, then moves into the proper method for guiding the boar onto the dummy sow platform.
Key control points include emptying accumulated preputial urine and wiping the area clean, removing the contaminated outer glove before grasping the front end of the boar’s penis, and discarding the initial clear gelatinous fraction. These steps ensure that the collected milky sperm-rich fraction remains free from urine or debris contamination. The closing sequence also covers sealing the collection cup, washing hands again, marking and transferring semen bag information, and returning the boar to its pen.
