It is very important that bull semen is thawed consistently at the right temperature.
The recommendations are as follows:
Normal semen 35-36°C (95°F) for 45 seconds
Sexed semen 36-37°C (98°F) for 40 seconds
If this does not take place then a percentage of sperm will die long before they ever see a cow, this has even greater consequences for sexed semen and older straws.
