On a farm visit in County Kerry

18 Apr 2012

A client had 40 heifers which had provided 2 groups in the 1 pen. Each pen had a stock bull which were routinely switched. In 1 pen 90% of the heifers were pregnant while in the other pen less than 30% were pregnant. How could this be explained, in a subfertile group 1 heifer was cystic. All of the empty heifers were reproductively sound with no evidence of embryonic death.

Testimonials

ReproDoc provide us with reproductive assessment of our cows prior to breeding – early non-pregnancy diagnosis, assessment of cows with reproductive problems, accurate ageing of pregnancies in particular where stock bulls are used towards the latter half of the breeding programmes and the sexing of pregnancies which is used from management of cows prior to calving to avoid calving difficulty. All scans are accurate which is most important. Prior to using Reprodoc, I had other men in scanning and did not get this accuracy which was a disaster.
