Beef Breeding Services provides comprehensive support to help you implement effective herd management practices and maximise reproductive performance. Artificial insemination (AI) program results are optimised through careful management of:
- Cow and heifer selection and preparation
- Heat detection
- Synchronisation of oestrus
- Semen handling and insemination technique
We work closely with you to plan, coordinate, and manage your AI program, ensuring best practice techniques are applied for consistent and successful outcomes.
We also offer specialised advice and management for advanced AI programs, including the use of sexed semen. Beef Breeding Services provides bull collection services for use in sexed semen programs, working in collaboration with STgenetics to deliver high-quality, specialised reproductive solutions.
Fixed Time Artificial Insemination Program (FTAI)
Technological advances in artificial breeding have led to a significant increase in the use of Fixed Time Artificial Insemination (FTAI) in both commercial and stud herds.
Beef Breeding Services will guide you through every step of the process, tailoring a program to suit your operation and production goals. We can supply all required drugs, AI Equipment and consumables, and our experienced technicians are available to carry out the insemination on your farm.or at our centre located at Etna Creek.
Semen Handling and Insemination Technique
Semen is a live biological product and must be handled with care to maintain its viability. It is highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations, as well as exposure to sunlight, water, blood, and poor hygiene practices.
To achieve optimal outcomes, we recommend attending an AI training course conducted by Beef Breeding Services, located at Etna Creek, where you will learn correct semen handling and insemination techniques.
