Calving from July through to November with all fertility work done by the Genus Reproductive Management System (RMS) team. The cows are milked three times daily with yields at 12,700lts\/cow milk sold which equates to 890kg milk solids sold per cow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn 2017 all milking cows were served with conventional dairy semen plus some Sexcel\u00ae semen on the odd cow and maiden heifers. This policy gave us too many surplus heifers, which impacted how well we were able to rear our replacements. This also gave us a large number of black and white bull calves to sell \/ give away!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, in 2018 they decided to change their policy. Using the Genus ABS Herd Percentile Ranking (HPR), 100 Cows and heifers were ranked as genetically superior and due to calve in September. These animals were mated using only Sexcel\u00ae semen through the GMS mating program, with the target of producing 75 dairy heifers. The rest of the herd was served to British Blue or Aberdeen Angus in the maiden heifers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWe used no conventional dairy semen for the first time. We have also been genomically testing the heifers, so next year we will be using the genomic data to rank the cows and determine which animals get dairy genetics.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThe results have been very positive with Preg rates now at 29% compared to 26% in the previous year when using conventional black and white semen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have learnt that you need to be confident with your fertility. I feel that we are breeding fertility into the herd with our block calving pattern. The cows that we are serving to sexed semen are our most fertile cows and our future breeding animals because they are at the beginning of the calving pattern.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c80% of our heifer replacements were born within the first six weeks of calving in 2019, which is a big improvement from 63% previously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe most important benefits are profit margins which are improved by selling continental calves and not unwanted black and white bull calves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"is-style-underline wp-block-heading\">Related Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"\" class=\"alignwide section-wrapper section-wrapper-small-fluid block-product-slider\" data-magellan-target=\"\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"carousel-card-section owl-carousel owl-theme\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"card-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2020\/07\/product-sexcel-2.jpg?w=1000&#038;resize=375,250\" alt=\"Image of medical devices\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card-section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"card-title\">The South African Dairy Industry\u2019s Best Fertility Sexed Semen<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"card-category\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/category\/sexed-semen\/\">sexed semen<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"card-description\">The Benefits of Using Sexed Semen, Sexcel\u00ae, on Your Dairy\u202f In a world where more is better,\u202fwhy should your sexed genetics in the South African Dairy Industry be any different?\u00a0Sexcel is the\u202fone result you can rely\u202fon\u202ffor getting more.
