Abstract

Microbial pathogens in semen used for artificial insemination (AI) do not only transmit diseases, but also reduce semen quality. A continuous pathogen removal separation technique overcomes the limits of current processing and separation techniques. We have applied acoustophoresis to separate bacteria and viruses from porcine semen while maintaining spermatozoa viability and achieved high spermatozoa recovery.
