The mating advice

Herd improvement report

Standard breeding goals

all round The all-round breeding goal is focussed on breeding

a durable, healthy and productive cow. Production and conformation are given equal weighting.

Production The breeding goal ‘production’ emphasises

production traits like milk, fat content and protein content. Conformation and health traits are weighed equally.

Functional type Functional type puts extra emphasises on the

functional conformation traits like udder and feet and legs. A functional cow is a durable problem-free cow.

Show type The breeding goal ‘show type’ focuses strongly on

conformation traits like frame and udder.

Longevity & health This breeding goal emphasises longevity and health

traits like fertility, udder health and the new hoof health index. Within the conformation block, feet and legs and udder are important.

Pasture based The pasture-based breeding goal is suitable

for seasonal grazing systems or herds that want problem- free cows with good fertility. Durability and health are the main focus, as well as components. Fertility is also given a lot of emphasis.

Breeding is investing in the future and SireMatch

will help you to make the right breeding decisions.

CRV’s new breeding program is suitable for all modern

herds’ needs and for every breeding goal, for every

breed and for every cow. SireMatch finds the best

unbiased mating.

SireMatch – for every farm and farmer

CRV’s mating program can be used everywhere and anytime. SireMatch has three levels and there will be one that suits you and your farm.

Go The web-based SireMatch GO module is very easy to use and flexible. It is particularly suitable for farms without any official herd data. The user can fill in known pedigrees and, based on the customised breeding goal, reliable advice is given. Inbreeding can be restricted and genetic defects will be excluded. SireMatch GO can take care of problem traits within the herd.

SELECt SireMatch Select is also web based and results in a so-called ‘pedigree mating’. Based on the users’ customised breeding goal and problem traits, advice will be given that’s based on the animal data (from the management system or herdbook) which is uploaded into the system. The reliability of the outcome is very high as SireMatch uses up to five generations, which are in the data file. Genetic defects are excluded and inbreeding is minimised.

PRo The most advanced module of SireMatch combines the pedigree information with linear scoring traits. Scoring can be done using a PDA application. In the web-based PRO module a customised breeding goal can be made and problem traits are taken into account. Genetic defects are excluded and inbreeding is minimised. Extensive reports are at the user’s disposal.

SireMatchUnique features of SireMatch

Web basedSireMatch is completely web based and very easy to use. Sire data files are maintained centrally and always up to date. The program is regularly updated and new versions are installed immediately. SireMatch needs no additional software to be installed locally.

Breeding goalIn every version the user can use one of the six standard breeding goals. Naturally it is possible to make a customised breeding goal. Five traits that require attention can be added and the program will take extra care to improve these traits. So corrective mating is not a problem!

PackagesWant breeding advice per cow group? You want to use up all the semen in your tank? No problem! Several cow groups per user can easily be made, as can customised bull packages.

Breeds and crossbreedingA unique feature of SireMatch is that it can give advice for every breed and every breeding value base. Moreover SireMatch supports crossbreeding between breeds!

Unbiased matingsSireMatch uses all data available and makes sure that genetic defects are excluded. The user can easily adjust the maximum level of inbreeding. The reports give several sire recommendations.

outputProfit functions for each trait support the output of the optimal mating regarding your breeding goal. The mating advice is being presented in several reports with three possible matings. The user can also get a report of sires that should not be used.

PDaSireMatch can run on a PDA or hand-held computer. Animals can be type scored using a PDA.

Genomic selection and sexed semenSireMatch supports the use of InSire genomically selected young sires and SiryX sexed semen.
