ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION IS AI FOR YOU? PUREBRED COMMERCIAL

ADVANTAGES Use Superior Sires Improve Genetics---in 3 generations 87% traced to sires used Uniformity of calf crop Improve Economic Traits ---Weaning weight, ADG, Calving Ease, Carcass Quality, Maternal Ability Shorten Calving Season Progeny Predictability with EPDs Easier Marketing Better Prices Improve Replacement Heifers Facilitates Crossbreeding

Disadvantages Requires Training---- manual dexterity skills Facilities----working pens and chute (covered) Time Extra Labor Equipment Costs Lower Conception Does not eliminate the need for a bull Practice once per year Only as good as the technician

How Do I Get Started ? Do it yourself Hire a Pro

Do it yourself Costs AI School Semen Tank Liquid Nitrogen (annual) AI Kit Semen (30 x $15) Total

Hire a Pro Assists with synchronizing herd AI on timed insemination $12.50/hd x $15.00 x 30 straws Total

Three Competency Factors Heat Detection Semen Handling Inseminating the Cow

Equation of Reproduction A x B x C x D = % Pregnant A = Detected in heat and inseminated (%) B = Inseminator efficiency (%) C = Fertility level of herd (%) D = Semen fertility level (%)

Equation of Reproduction A x B x C x D = % Pregnancy Herd 1 A=95% B=100% C=90% D=95%.95 x 1.00 x.90 x.95 =81.2% Pregnant

Equation of Reproduction A x B x C x D = % Pregnant Herd 2 A=60% B=100% C=90% D=95%.60 x 1.00 x.90 x.95 =51.3% Pregnant

Cost Cutting Ideas Co-op with other cattlemen Share the cost of equipment and LN Share portable chute and scales Partnership on bulls Pool calves Video marketing Internet marketing

You make the call! If you plan to stay in the cattle business and become a progressive breeder by producing good predictable cattle that will draw a premium price, then you should definitely utilize Artificial Insemination in your herd.
