Boost heat detection rates by bringing in skills of trained staff

摘要

Genus' Reproductive Management System effectively contracts out the task of heat detection in your herd by bringing in the experts. Geoff Fagotto visited one Wiltshire farm to see how it all works in practice. Wiltshire dairy specialist Rob Hislop ofSprays Farm, near Calne, was involved in the trial run with the first UK trained technician Bryn Jones. Mr Hislop's system is typical of the dairy unit Genus is targeting -he employs two Bulgarian stockmen, decided to expand cow numbers to over 200 in response to milk prices, does DIY Al and was experiencing problems with pregnancy rates.
