Genetic preservation

Genetic Preservation

Long-term cryopreservation of your boars' semen, frozen and stored at our center in Eldora, Iowa.

Frozen at our center

Semen is collected and cryopreserved at the IBS center using our boar-specific freezing protocols. We preserve only semen frozen at our center; we do not accept semen frozen elsewhere.

Long-term storage

Preserved semen is held in liquid nitrogen at IBS for a monthly fee, or can be returned to you.

Storage format

5 mL straws.

Getting started

Ship your qualified boar to IBS for evaluation and freezing. See Custom Freezing or call us to plan a collection.

Records and inventory

Every preserved line is tracked in our inventory, alongside our own frozen genetics dating from the 1970s to today.

Thawing

Thaw instructions for 5 mL straws are on the Frozen Semen page.
