When selecting the best CASA (Computer-Assisted Sperm Analysis) system for animal breeding genetics, particularly for swine (boar) semen analysis, it's essential to consider accuracy, speed, compatibility, automation, and advanced features. Below is a guide to help you choose the most suitable CASA system for pig breeding.
✔ Essential Parameters:
Sperm Motility (Total and Progressive)
Sperm Concentration (per mL and per ejaculate)
Sperm Morphology (Normal vs. Abnormal Forms)
Sperm Velocity & Track Analysis (VAP, VCL, VSL)
Sperm DNA Integrity & Viability (Advanced CASA)
✔ Advanced Features (Recommended for Genetic Breeding Labs):
Acrosome Integrity Analysis
Mitochondrial Activity Detection
DNA Fragmentation & Membrane Integrity
AI-Powered Sperm Sorting Algorithms
✅ Swine-Specific Optimization: The CASA system should be tailored for boar sperm, which differs in size, motility, and concentration from bovine and equine sperm.
✅ Fresh vs. Frozen Semen Compatibility: Ensure the system works with both fresh extended and frozen-thawed boar semen.
✅ AI Station Integration: If used in artificial insemination (AI) centers, it must allow batch processing for high-volume sample analysis.
✅ High Throughput Analysis: The system should be able to analyze multiple samples efficiently, saving time in AI stations.
✅ Automatic Report Generation: Essential for managing genetic selection and AI records.
✅ The CASA system must support high-quality disposable sperm counting chamber slides (e.g., Leja, Minitube, or IMV slides).
✅ Ensure compatibility with various magnifications (10x, 20x, 40x) based on lab requirements.
Here are some top-rated CASA systems for boar semen quality analysis:
