Scanning reveals the impact of false heats in a dairy herd

03 Nov 2012

Visited a farmer in County Louth where heat detection using a heat detector machine was a primary assessment tool on detecting heats. However, scanning revealed that 10% of false readings were given out by the heat detector.

We use Reprodoc on a bi-monthly basis throughout the year, whereby reproductive problems in the herd are identified early in the breeding season which runs from January through September.

Reprodoc provide us with an excellent service whereby we can rely on the accurate ageing and sexing of pregnancies for the purpose of dry cow management and the culling of cows which are not suitable for breeding.
