iPhone, iPad, iSperm?

 


Let’s face it, technology has become a necessary evil in almost every sector of agriculture including the reproduction of livestock. . .enter iSperm.  iSperm boasts being “the first mini/mobile computer-assisted sperm analyzer (mCASA)”.  Since it is mobile, it can help the user monitor semen quality almost anywhere, including in the middle of a field.  Test concentration, motility, mobility and sperm kinetics with a user friendly interface on an iPad Mini.  Quickly calculate total number of doses and amount of extender needed.  Results are archived in the cloud so you don’t even have to write anything down.  

Like most new technologies, there is an upfront cost associated with the purchase of the app, iPad Mini and a few pieces of collection equipment; however, this does make semen analysis access easier and more affordable plus iSperm has been validated by The Ohio State University School of Veterinary Medicine.  It has been used all over the world for research purposes and by many zoos to ensure the quality of their breeding programs for endangered animal recovery.  No more sending off samples for analysis, no more having to wait for results,  this portable semen analyzer gives you accurate results quickly.
