SpermVital - fertilises for longer
Origin
The idea of extending fertilisation capacity of semen doses after insemination was discussed for the first time 10 years ago in Norway. In 2008 the Norwegian breeding organisation GENO, along with other investors, founded the company SpermVital AS.
Technology
SpermVital embeds the sperm in a matrix (a type of sponge) made from alginate. Through the longer dissolution of the alginate after transmission, the sperm are released bit by bit which extends the time period with fresh sperm.
Market
SpermVital has been sold in Norway since 2010. Sales now amount to over 15%. Some field tests with good results for SpermVital have also been carried out internationally.
