Infertility and subfertility in bulls are significant issues in the cattle industry, leading to economic losses and inefficiencies. It is estimated that sub-fertility can cost producers thousands of dollars each year. Traditional bull breeding soundness exams (B.B.S.E.) are often imprecise, time-consuming, and costly. These manual evaluations can miss sub-fertile bulls due to their cursory nature, leading to drawn-out calving seasons, lighter weaning weights, and overall herd reproductive inefficiencies. The lack of standardized, high-quality semen evaluations creates a gap where seedstock producers often opt for cheaper, less thorough exams, which benefits their sales but leaves buyers with unreliable results.
Sperm In-Cyte strives to that. With our advanced computer vision algorithms, we are able to provide a precise and dependable bull semen analysis that can change bull breeding for the better.

Sperm-In-Cyte provides accurate and dependable bull semen analysis, surpassing the limitations of manual evaluation to enhance herd reproductive efficiency and profitability.
Sperm In-Cyte is an innovative veterinary technology designed for enhancing cattle herd reproductive efficiency through advanced semen analysis. Founded by Dr. Glen Jensen, our mission is to revolutionize the cattle breeding industry by providing accurate, dependable, and high-quality semen evaluations that surpass the limitations of manual evaluation.
Sperm abnormalities can cause major issues in bull fertility and can greatly affect the health of a herd. Bull Breeding Soundness Exams (B.B.S.E.) are conducted to analyze bull fertility so that cattle producers can make informed and sustaining decisions.
Proximal cytoplasmic droplets are small, round inclusions found near the head of the sperm. They indicate a failure in the final maturation stages during spermiogenesis.
Knobbed acrosomes are characterized by abnormal flattening, beading, or indentation at the apex of the acrosome. This defect can be heritable or arise following environmental stress events.
Large vacuoles, also known as confluent vacuoles, appear as large, crater-like inclusions on the sperm head. These vacuoles can vary in size, sometimes appearing as a ‘bite’ missing from the side of the head.
