KUBUS was founded in 1986 and is distinguished by having developed the first commercially available long term
and high protection boar semen extender, MRA®, thus revolutionizing the practice of artificial insemination (AI) in
pigs, which until then was in its infancy. Since KUBUS’ origins in 80’s, the company has been characterized by
being heir to the great work carried out by the distinguished researcher and KUBUS’ its founder, Dr Santiago
Martin Rillo. In addition to developing the technology for the conservation of semen, he carried out the essential
task of disseminating knowledge and know-how of assisted reproduction techniques and reproductive
management in pig farms. With this, he greatly contributed to the standardization and globalization of swine AI
techniques at an international level.
