BENEFITS OF AI IN SUCKLER COWS
The use of AI in the suckler herd has the ability to bring a whole host of benefits to your beef breeding programme and business:
IMPROVED QUALITY OF STOCK:
• Access to sires with breed leading performance figures, traits and pedigrees at affordable prices
• Able to correctively mate specific sires to individual cows, rather than serving a whole group to a particular bull
• Use sires with progeny already on the ground that have a proven track record
IMPROVED BIO-SECURITY:
• The use of AI in suckler herds, can completely remove the heavy cost of purchasing replacements and avoids risk of disease
• The use of sexed semen enhances a beef producers ability to breed replacements from bulls with specific maternal traits
TIGHTENING OF CALVING PERIOD:
• With regular users of AI in suckler herds reporting 70% of animals getting in-calf to first service, the use of AI can significantly increase the volume of cows that calve in the first 21 days of the calving period
• More uniform groups of animals for marketing at sale time and improved management on farm
PROVEN SUCCESS:
• Semen produced at Cogent undergoes stringent quality control testing beyond industry standards to ensure customers receive the very best chance of success
• Cogent have been sexing semen since 2000 and currently export to over 30 countries worldwide which reflects the industry leading QC standards in place
