It is very important that bull semen is thawed consistently at the right temperature.

You should always contact your Semen Provider for their actual recommendations.

Here are some examples:

• Normal semen  35-36°C (95°F)  for 45 seconds
• Sexed semen 36-37°C (98°F) for 40 seconds

If the correct settings are not followed then a percentage of sperm may die long before they ever see a cow, this has even greater consequences for sexed semen and older straws.
