Three bulls, FR4021, FR2298 and AA2123 were used in the trial starting the 25th of March. Technicians in the barn received 50ml universal tubes containing the dilution INRA. Ejaculates were placed into the pre-warmed INRA and then stored in the transport box to the lab. On arrival in the lab the sample underwent initial subjective assessment and the concentration was determined. All data was put into the database and the sample was split into three treatments, A= a small FDX-B chip, B= a large FDX-B chip and C= control. The sample was fully diluted in INRA and then placed in a transport box to regulate the temperature over the three days. Samples were scanned every hour in order to activate the chip to assess the effect on the sample. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/gillian-cummins\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2019\/06\/20190225_133302-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85\" width=\"367\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/gillian-cummins\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2019\/06\/20190225_133302-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/gillian-cummins\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2019\/06\/20190225_133302-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/gillian-cummins\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2019\/06\/20190225_133302-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><figcaption>Big chip and a small chip.
