Scanning cows for foetal sexing

20 Sep 2012

Visited a suckler farmer outside Midleton, Co.Cork. This client presented a group of suckler cows for scanning. He presented one group of 9 cows that were running with a yearling Hereford bull. They were all confirmed pregnant carrying male calves. The odds ratio of this happening is very low. It cannot be explained biologically.

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.
