Pre Breed Scanning of Dairy Cows

04 May 2012

Farm visits today entailed a series of dairy farmers throughout the Dingle peninsula in Co. Kerry. A range of reproductive problems were encountered and targets were set for dairy farmers to maximise submission rate over the following three week period. Breeding programmes are just about to begin on these farms with a preference for calving from the 15th of February 2013 onwards.

We use Reprodoc to assess reproductive status of cows post calving, prior to breeding and for reproductive status during the breeding programme. Reprodoc fertility management programme is an excellent biomarker for the well-being of our herd.

We can assess if there are underlying stressors at various stages of the reproductive cycle.

We rely on Reprodoc to give us accurate ageing and sexing of pregnancies for when the stock bulls are running with the herd for the purpose of drying off cows and for managing cows in the close up period to calving.
