About animal products; bovine semen

HS code 051110 covers the trade of bovine semen, a critical input for the global cattle industry. Bovine semen is a key component in artificial insemination, which has become a widely adopted practice in modern livestock farming. This industry plays a vital role in supporting the production of beef, dairy, and other bovine-derived products that are essential to the global food supply chain.

Production process

The production of bovine semen involves the collection, processing, and storage of semen from high-quality breeding bulls. Specialized facilities use techniques such as electroejaculation or artificial vagina to collect the semen, which is then evaluated for quality and concentration. The semen is then diluted, cooled, and packaged for distribution and use in artificial insemination programs.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the bovine semen industry include breeding bulls, specialized semen collection and processing equipment, storage facilities, and transportation infrastructure to deliver the semen to farms and breeding centers. Veterinary expertise and strict quality control measures are also essential to ensure the health and genetic integrity of the semen.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 051110 industry is bovine semen, which is used by 010620 Bovine animals farmers and breeders for artificial insemination.
