Economic comparison of natural service and timed artificial insemination breeding programs in dairy cattle.
The objective was to compare the costs of natural service (NS) and timed artificial insemination (TAI) as breeding programs for dairy cows. Both programs were directly compared in a field study from November 2006 to March 2008. Reproductive results in that study were similar and served as inputs for this study. A herd budget accounting for all costs and revenues was created. Net cost during the...
متن کاملEconomic evaluation of genomic breeding programs.
The objective of this study was to compare a conventional dairy cattle breeding program characterized by a progeny testing scheme with different scenarios of genomic breeding programs. The ultimate economic evaluation criterion was discounted profit reflecting discounted returns minus discounted costs per cow in a balanced breeding goal of production and functionality. A deterministic approach ...
متن کاملBreeding the Problem Mare by Artificial Insemination
Horse breeding is the procedure by which an adequate number of sperm are deposited into the uterus of a “healthy” mare at the right time. Although semen deposition is performed in all breeds by natural cover (NC), it is often, and with increasing frequency, done artificially. Although the main difference between natural breeding and artificial insemination (AI) is the delivery method of semen i...
متن کاملKeys to Successful Estrus Synchronization and Artificial Insemination Programs
Introduction The development of effective methods of synchronizing estrus and ovulation has been based on our understanding of the physiological and hormonal mechanisms controlling the estrous cycle and the initiation of estrous cyclicity and prepuberty in heifers and postpartum cows. Although estrus synchronization products (PGF2, MGA, CIDR and GnRH) and protocols have changed over time, the ...
متن کاملArtificial Insemination
A GROUP of dairymen in New Jersey organized in 1938 the first cooperative in the United States for the artificial insemination of their cows. This method of serving females without natural mating has since become one of the most significant programs for livestock improvement in the history of American agriculture. A great deal of research has been done on all phases. A basic contribution was th...
