Factories slow taking in cull cows

28 Oct 2012

We scanned a herd of dairy cows in Co. Limerick. The client had fit cull cows going to the factory. Factories kept telling him that they were over booked with stock and couldnot slaughter them. These cows were running with a Friesian bull. The client decided to scan them on the basis of sexing the pregnancies and retaining those cows carrying heifer calves.

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.
