Redefining semen-sorting technology through autonomy and partnership
As sorted semen becomes increasingly essential in modern breeding, Univers2020 has officially launched OPENSORT during an exclusive international partner event at Château Le Grand Mello in France. “OPENSORT stands for our semen-sorting solutions, designed to provide broader access to this key technology across the cattle industry.’’ says Dany-Pierre Rondeau, General Manager of Univers2020. “It gives farmers and AI centers true operational independence and control over their own genetics and laboratory operations.”
Customer expectations are changing at an unprecedented pace towards top genetics, faster and more targeted elite female calves, high value male calves and strategies that maximize profitability across the entire herd. “We therefore believe the future of this industry is built on independence, trust, and true partnership. OPENSORT brings all three together”, continues Dany-Pierre.
Strengthening independence
Freedom is a central element of the OPENSORT model. Users benefit fr om a high level of flexibility to align operations with their financial objectives and strategic ambitions. Dany-Pierre: “OPENSORT is a shift in control; back to the people who run the labs every day and ultimately, the farmers. It is designed to operate without unnecessary constraints such as rigid production requirements or fixed operating frameworks. This approach enables laboratories to retain full oversight of their operations and genetics.
100% European semen-sorting technology
At the core of OPENSORT lies the in-house developed -BEV, a powerful flow cytometer as well as a very innovative semen process. This 100% European semen-sorting technology developed over several years of research, is already operating in multiple AI centers. “OPENSORT delivers first and foremost, high standards of semen fertility and high-purity sorted semen. We believe this is wh ere it begins; high fertility and accurate purity, male or female”, explains Dany-Pierre. “Advanced R&D allows you to sort male and female semen simultaneously or even sort part of the ejaculate while the rest is processed conventionally.”
A new benchmark
The launch of OPENSORT in Mello, France, is an achievement and a start. Univers2020 aims to contribute to a more adaptable and partnership-driven landscape. As Dany-Pierre concludes: “With OPENSORT, we are not only introducing a technology but enabling closer collaboration. Together, we set a new benchmark for the future of sorted semen.”
