Artificial insemination or Sync to Straw

We provide Artificial Insemination (AI) combined with a synchronisation programme. This can offer a number of advantages over natural mating:

AI allows new genetics to be brought into your herd without the cost of buying a bull of high genetic merit or the disease risk of introducing live animals. Using EBVs can target specific desirable characteristics such as calving ease, growth, weaning weights. AI can also be used to tighten up extended calving patterns and reduce costs associated with purchasing and keeping bulls.
