Product Overview

The Semen Thaw Cup is a compact temperature-controlled water-bath unit designed for thawing frozen semen straws before livestock artificial insemination. It provides a stable warm-water environment to support standardized semen preparation in dairy farms, beef cattle operations, breeding centers and mobile A.I. service programs.

The unit combines a water chamber, thermostatic control system, heating element, protective housing and convenient carrying structure. AC and DC power configurations can be supplied for stationary breeding-room operation and mobile field use.

A typical cattle semen thawing configuration maintains the water bath at approximately 95–98°F. Actual thawing temperature and exposure time should always follow the semen supplier's recommended protocol.

Key Features
  • Stable Temperature Control: Thermostatic control helps maintain a consistent water-bath temperature during semen preparation.
  • Portable Design: Compact construction allows convenient use in breeding rooms, barns, veterinary stations and service vehicles.
  • AC/DC Operation: Dual-power configurations are available for fixed farm use and mobile artificial insemination work.
  • Visual Status Indication: Operating or ready indicators help technicians confirm the working condition of the unit.
  • Durable Housing: Robust, corrosion-resistant housing is suitable for daily livestock breeding environments.
  • Easy Handling: Integrated handle and accessible water chamber simplify filling, transport and routine operation.
  • Simple Maintenance: Accessible internal construction facilitates draining and routine cleaning after use.
  • OEM Capability: Voltage, plug type, housing, branding, packaging and accessories can be customized according to project requirements.
Structural Components
  • Temperature-controlled water chamber
  • Electric heating element
  • Thermostatic temperature controller
  • Temperature sensor
  • Protective outer housing
  • Hinged or removable lid
  • Integrated carrying handle
  • Heating and ready-status indicator
  • AC/DC power connection system
  • Semen straw basket or retriever, depending on configuration
Working Principle / Structural Principle

Clean water is added to the thawing chamber and heated by an integrated electric heating element. A temperature sensor monitors the water bath while the thermostat automatically controls heater operation to maintain the required temperature range.

Once the water reaches the target temperature, frozen semen straws are transferred from the liquid nitrogen storage tank into the warm-water bath. After the specified thawing period, the straws are removed, dried and prepared for artificial insemination.

For reliable reproductive management, thawing temperature and time should be determined according to the semen processor or breeding organization's instructions.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation: Place the thaw cup on a stable and dry working surface or suitable position inside a breeding service vehicle. Fill the chamber with clean water to the recommended level and connect the correct power source.

Operation: Allow the unit to reach the required water temperature before inserting semen straws. Verify the temperature before use and follow the semen supplier's thawing instructions.

Cleaning: Disconnect the electrical supply before draining or cleaning. Empty the water after use and wipe the chamber and external surfaces clean.

Routine Inspection: Regularly check the power cord, adapters, temperature sensor, housing and lid. Keep electrical connections dry and replace damaged components before further operation.

Storage: Store the unit clean and dry, away from freezing conditions, excessive impact and aggressive farm chemicals.

Project Cases

Semen thaw cups can be supplied individually or integrated into complete livestock artificial insemination equipment packages for dairy farms, beef breeding projects, genetics centers, veterinary service companies and agricultural equipment distributors.

OEM specifications, branding, packaging and bulk project quantities are available upon request.
