ECOSTRAW, Transparent Green 0.5 ml and 2500/bag EcoStraw Transparent Green 0.5 ml is a veterinary product designed for storing and freezing semen for use in artificial insemination. These medium-capacity straws are manufactured by Minitube and are part of the EcoStraw series. They feature a cotton plug with a shorter internal wick that absorbs about 3–4% fewer sperm cells compared to traditional straws, enhancing the utilization of valuable genetic material. EcoStraw is used in the same way as traditional straws for filling, sealing, printing, freezing, and insemination. The transparent green color facilitates visual distinction. Each bag contains 2500 straws.

Better utilization of available sperm cells per ejaculate due to less absorption by the plug
Production of more straws per ejaculate, increasing genetic utilization
