Considering Synchronisation?BENEFITS

• Minimun Heat Detection needed• Allows you to batch calve• More even batch of animals to manage at housing and grazing• Reduces the need for additional bulls• Cost effective• Select sires for individual cows or heifers

IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER• Results can be variable• Good handling facilities are essential• Plan ahead and discuss with your Veterinarian and AI Services Technician• Adequate calving pens are needed• Herd health and nutrition• Other variables could have negative impacts (e.g. weather)• Days between calving and A. I. +42 days• Body Condition Score• Previous calving difficulty• Poor temperament of animals

Benefits of A. I. in the Suckler Herd

Getting the Best from A. I.• Heat detection rates in the United Kingdom average about 55%. Improvements are gained by taking more time, i.e. 20 - 30

minutes on each occasion, and by more early morning and late night inspections.• Although average heats last 12 - 15 hours, 25 - 30% of cows have heats of less than 6 hours.• Prevent cows getting either too fat or too thin. Cows in condition score 2 - 3 (scale 1 - 5) are optimal. Thriving animals always do better.• Avoid excessive weight loss around the time of service.• Treat lame animals promptly.• Breeding cows within 50 days of calving tends to give poor results.• Never breed any cow with a dirty vaginal discharge or evidence of ‘whites’.• Keep complete records of all cows that come into heat and use them to anticipate returns. Where cows are not coming into

heat have your vet examine and treat them.• A cow standing firm to be mounted is the best sign of heat, but remember 6 - 8% of pregnant animals will occasionally stand

too!

1. It allows you to utilize superior genetics2. It allows you to select sires for individual cows

• Most of the herds are made up of many different types of cows3. You can select sires using EBVs

• Sires with high 200 day growth are suitable for farmers selling weanlings• Sires with high 400 day growth and muscling are suitable for beef finishers• Sires with high 200 day milk value are suitable for breeding replacements

4. Calving and progeny details available• All the bulls are scrutinized for calving difficulty and calf quality

5. A. I. allows you to alter genetics quickly• Change from one breed to another - Charolais, Limousin, Angus or Salers without incurring additional costs.

6. A. I. has low capital investment• A good (?) stock bull could cost anything between £2,000 – £10,000• After 30 months – Cull Price• Feeding, housing, fencing and high risk factor for you, children and the public

7. A. I. ensures semen quality• 5% of all bulls are infertile at some time• 30% have unsatisfactory semen quality

8. A. I. allows you to synchronize• Shorter heat detection period• Shorter calving period• Even and heavier batch of calves to erase house market• Fewer barren cows• Better record keeping

Obtaining a bull with the right genetics can have a major impact on herd profitability. Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) are measurements of genetic potential, which can be used to assess a bull’s breeding merit for a specific trait.EBVs are expressed in the same units as the traits they represent and are expressed relatie to a common baselie. Comparisons can be made using EBVs between bulls of the same breed, but not different breeds.A bull’s EBVs must be halved to estimate how much of his genetic superiority will be pased on to his progeny.So a bull with a 400 Day Weight EBV of +40kg will produce calves 20 kg heavier at 400 days of age than a bull with an EBV of 0.Accuracy Values are produced for each EBV. Accuracy is expressed as a percentage and indicates the amount of data used to calculate the EBV. The higher the Accuracy Value, the lower the chances of the EBV changing over time as new data becomes available.

BLUP Figures the numbers explained

EBV Interpretation Notes

Birth Weight Negative values =Lighter calves at birth Enables sire to be selected to produce smaller calves at birth, reducing calving difficulties

Calving Ease Positive values =More unassisted calvings Identifies sires whose calves will tend to be born without assistance

Maternal Calving Ease Positive values =More unassisted calvings

Identifies females that will calve more easily. Should not be confused with Calving Ease Direct (see above)

Gestation Length Negative values =Shorter gestations

Shorter gestation lengths tend to result in easier calvings, because birth weights tend to be lower

Calving Value Higher values =More profitable The economic value of an animal in terms of gestation length and difficult calvings

Scrotal Circumference Higher values =Larger Circumference Scrotal Circumference measurements (at one year old)

200 Day MilkPositive values =More productive female replacements

Indicates female breeding lines that produce more milk and so wean heavier calves

Docility Lower values =More Docile Docility score (at around one year old)

200 Day Growth Positive values =Faster growth rates

Selection for faster growth will result in animals that have heavier carcases at a constant fat class or leaner carcases at a constant age400 Day Growth

Muscle Depth Positive values =Deeper loin muscle Selecting for this trait will increase the yield of lean meat in the carcase

Fat Depth Negative values =Leaner carcases

Indicates animals capable of producing lean carcases, which can be taken to heavier weights without becoming overfat

Beef Value Higher values =More profitable The economic value of an animal in terms of the financial merit of its offsprings’ carcases

BREEDPLAN is a modern genetic evaluation system for beef cattle. It offers the potential to accelerate genetic improvement in your herd, tighten up breeding operations, improve productivity and increase prices of cattle sold for both breeding and slaughter. At the time of printing this catalogue, the Aberdeen Angus, Simmental, Shorthorn, British Blue and Hereford breeds are using this system.CALVING EASECalving Ease EBVs are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving. DIRECT calving ease indicates how this animal influences the birth of his progeny. DAUGHTERS’ calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving.BIRTHGL: Gestation length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicate shorter gestation lengths which generally relate to easier calving and increased growth after birth.BWT: Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for damage. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the less is the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use on heifers.GROWTHMILK: 200 Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal’s milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughters’ milking ability as it affects the 200 Day Weight of their calves.200: 200 Day Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of animals taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth to early ages.400: 400 Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for yearling weight.600: 600 Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.CARCASECWT: Carcass Weight EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference in Carcass weight at a standard age of 650 days.EMA: Eye Muscle Area EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area of a 300 kg dressed Carcass. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals.RIB: Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the rib in a 300 kg dressed Carcass. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity.RBY%: Retail Beef Yield Percent EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300 kg dressed Carcass. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300 kg Carcass size.TERMINAL SIRE INDEXThis index ranks bulls by their genetic potential for the production of prime steers and heifers for beef production. Growth and Carcass EBVs are the main drivers used in compiling this index, with considerable emphasis on calving ease direct. Typical production parameters, prices and costs underlie this selection index. Bulls with a higher Terminal Index will have a greater genetic potential to sire heavier finished progeny. As there are no maternal traits included in the calculation of the Terminal Index, bulls with a high Index will not necessarily be suitable for breeding heifer replacements.SELF REPLACING INDEXThis index is also focused on Calving Ease, Retail Beef Yield and Growth (as animals are still being sold for slaughter), but includes maternal and fertility EBVs as well. The index is trying to balance the requirements for the cow herd with producing animals to market specifications. The Self Replacing Index is aimed at a herd selecting replacement females from within the herd while breeding steers and excess heifers to turn off to meet market specifications. There is emphasis on calving ease and maternal traits while also looking to finish animals for slaughter.
