Product Overview

The Cattle Semen Straw Cutter is a compact artificial insemination accessory designed to open semen straws with a clean, controlled cut before loading the straw into a bovine AI gun.

A straight and consistent cut helps prepare the sealed end of the straw for proper connection with the insemination sheath. Its small size and simple operating mechanism make it convenient for use in cattle breeding stations, veterinary practices, dairy farms and commercial livestock reproduction programs.

The cutter is designed for routine handling by AI technicians and breeding personnel and can be supplied in different configurations according to straw format and project requirements.

Key Features
  • Designed specifically for semen straw preparation during bovine artificial insemination.
  • Produces a controlled, straight cut at the sealed end of the semen straw.
  • Compact handheld structure is convenient for AI technicians and farm breeding personnel.
  • Simple cutting mechanism supports fast preparation during routine insemination workflows.
  • Non-corrosive housing and a durable cutting component can support repeated professional use.
  • Easy-to-clean construction supports hygienic artificial insemination procedures.
  • Suitable for applicable mini, medium and standard semen straw formats according to configuration.
  • Lightweight design is easy to store inside an AI kit or insemination equipment box.
  • Suitable for livestock breeding centers, dairy farms, cattle ranches and veterinary service providers.
Structural Components
  • Protective housing: Compact outer body designed for safe and convenient handheld operation.
  • Straw positioning opening: Holds the semen straw in the appropriate cutting position.
  • Cutting blade: Provides the cutting edge required to open the sealed end of the straw.
  • Operating button: Activates the cutting mechanism on applicable push-button configurations.
  • Internal blade support: Maintains the cutting component in a stable position during operation.
  • Fastening components: Secure the housing and allow servicing or cleaning according to the selected design.
Working Principle / Structural Principle

The semen straw is positioned inside the cutter's designated cutting port. The positioning structure keeps the straw aligned while the cutting mechanism is activated to remove the sealed tip.

The objective is to create a clean, perpendicular opening rather than an angled cut. This allows the prepared straw to fit correctly with the compatible AI sheath and insemination gun during the subsequent loading process.

For frozen semen handling, the straw should be processed according to established thawing and semen-handling procedures, with the cutting operation performed after appropriate preparation of the straw. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
