Informational Brochure
Benefits of A.I.
- Improved Genetics
Using semen from proven A.I. sires allows for more rapid genetic improvement by accessing bulls that would be too expensive to obtain otherwise. - Bio-security
Artificial insemination is ideal for closed herds that need fresh genetics without purchasing sires. Frozen semen from reputable companies is subject to strict health and disease prevention standards. - Enhanced Fertility
Managing cattle for optimum A.I. performance concentrates the calving season so that the calf crop is more uniform, older and heavier at weaning and overall, more valuable. - Increased Profit
Several economic studies have proven that A.I. with estrous synchronization generates more profit for purebred and commercial cattle production. - Defined Calving Season
AI can dramatically shift the calving distribution of a herd using estrus synchronization protocols.
