Reliability & Fertility

Reliable genetics are important to the overall profitability of a dairy regardless of size, management or environment.

ABS prides itself in providing the most stable and accurate genetics in the industry.  Dairy producers using ABS' proven genetics add profitability with:

  • Consistent daughters
  • Expected performance
  • A sound genetic investment

ABS identifies different levels of reliability through:

ABS Cornerstone
ABS utilizes its progeny test program (in addition to genomics) to add daughter performance information to a bull's proof prior to graduation

 

Rock Solid Genetics
ABS has more sires with 100 daughters in 60 herds at graduation.  These sires achieve ABS' Rock Solid Genetics level of reliability - the highest standard in the industry

ABS Diamond Sires
ABS leads the industry in sires achieving Diamond Sire status - 1,000 milking daughters
ABS understands that to be profitable, you need to create pregnancies, consistently.

In addition to utilizing the most advanced collection, processing and freezing techniques, ABS focuses on evaluation of fertility performance for both individual bulls and the entire ABS product offering.


 ABS Pregnancy Kings
Superior fertility bulls are identified as ABS Pregnancy Kings.  To be designated an ABS Pregnancy King, sires must be positive for all of the following criteria:

  • SCR & Agri-Tech Analytics (ATA) industry fertility rankings
  • ABS field trial, laboratory and customer conception results
  • ADHIS fertility data

ABS is also investing in collecting ABS Real World Data from its extensive network of field trial herds across North America.  Collection of on-farm data allows ABS to evaluate and validate ABS' superior fertility offering.

Although it is important to recognize that management and environment also factor into reproductive performance, ABS is committed to utilizing the latest technology to provide the highest quality product for dairy producers.
