“Utilizing elite genetics has helped our operation continue to be sustainable through reducing the amount of resources needed to raise a high quality beef product.”

Adam Gourley, Open Range Angus, OK

“Artificial insemination is an endless way to help your herd. The ABS Pasture to Plate™ profit mindset has been an important tool on our ranch. Ideally, I want to produce productive cows that all look the same and yield high value, uniform calves that make it difficult on me to sort them in the feedyard. Having conversations like the ones I have with ABS, is the best way to learn and improve your herd.”

Mark Fulton, Fulton Ranch, SD

Manage Input Costs with Feed Efficiency

Backed by over two decades of progeny feed intake data, ABS is the industry leader in the proven feed efficiency genetics space. Sires in our Feed Efficiency section have been selected because they excel in traits associated with improving efficiency and profitability. When looking to improve feed efficiency, the ABS Pasture to Plate™ Feed Efficiency Index helps identify the most profitable combinations of intake and gain.

ABS FEED EFFICIENCY INDEX

Feed costs are the largest expense in beef production which is why improved efficiency continues to be a key focus of research for ABS. With this in mind, we have developed the ABS Feed Efficiency Index as a part of our Pasture to Plate Genetic Evaluation System. This index is backed by more than 13,000 individual feed intake records. We recommend considering bulls with progeny that have been specifically tested for feed intake.

Leverage the Power of the ABS Pasture to Plate™ Evaluation

EXCLUSIVE SYSTEM BUILT FOR YOU

The Pasture to Plate™ Genetic Evaluation is an exclusive program designed to test progeny of ABS bulls in real world environments and turn that information into tools that will help you select the right genetics to meet your operation’s goals

Our team uses genomics, phenotypic information, and two decades worth of ABS progeny test data to generate selection indexes you can apply directly to your herd.

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE DATA

Our genetic evaluation system is a product of our foundation and our past. It was built purposely to identify sires that generate the most profitable feeder cattle in the beef supply chain. This is the very system that we use today to drive genetic progress in our NuEra Genetics program, designed specifically with profitability and the beef supply chain in mind.

OUR PAST LED US HERE

Challenging the status quo is not new to ABS. In the 1960s, ABS initiated the first large scale, multi-herd progeny test program which was used to screen new bulls added to the ABS lineup. In 1973, ABS published the first EPDs from our progeny test program data. The foundation of ABS was built on data collection and progeny testing. Pioneering in this space of the industry is part of our DNA.

Our system is independent of breed associations and has been developed to

Simmental influence bulls on an equal basis. Designed as a straightforward way to

can have confidence that you are selecting the right sires for you to maximize total end product profit

DATA SOURCES FOR THE EVALUATION SYSTEM

Each year more data is added to our evaluation as we continue our focus on data collection and demonstration of genetics at work. Monthly updates to the evaluation incorporate genomics and phenotypic records on tens of thousands of animals from our internal database including progeny test data. It also includes an industry leading repository of feed intake data collected through ABS programs.

Today our U.S. evaluation system includes more than 13,000 individual feed intake records and exceeds 65,000 carcass records. A comprehensive data set that you can trust when selecting sires for endpoint profitability.

Herd 6040 SYNCH

Sexcel 60/40 Synch is a strategic breeding program that gives you the power to design replacement heifers from the right segment of your cows while maximizing performance and endpoint value of the remainder of your calf crop.

THE 60 IN THE EQUATION:

Take advantage of the convenience of estrus synchronization protocols to identify your most fertile cows. Well-managed herds can expect more than 60 percent of the females to display estrus by scheduled breeding time when utilizing the 7-day Co-synch + CIDR protocol.

THE END RESULT:

THE 40 IN THE EQUATION:

The remaining 40 percent of cows should be bred via timed AI to terminally oriented bulls. To reap the most benefit from the program, all females should be exposed to clean-up sires that excel for growth performance and endpoint value.

A calf crop composed of 30-35% designed, AI-sired replacement heifers and 65-70% high-value feeder calves.

Females that display estrus with fully activated patches are time AI’d with Sexcel semen from maternally designed bulls

Females that do not display estrus are time AI’d with conventional semen from terminally oriented bulls

All cows are synchronized and fitted with Estrotect™ patches. All cows are exposed to a terminally oriented sire for clean up.

Use RESYNCHRONIZATION to Increase Calf Crop Value

Resynchronization is when estrus synchronization is performed in heifers or cows that have previously been exposed to estrus synchronization and fixed-time artificial insemination (TAI).

By incorporating a second round of estrus synchronization and AI by resynchronizing, producers can increase their calf crop value with more AI sired calves and a shortened calving window. If more females are pregnant from AI, then there is also potential to reduce the number of clean-up bulls required to cover the remaining non-pregnant females. In addition, estrus detection of females that return to estrus after the first exposure to AI may be eliminated if TAI is incorporated.

RESYNCHRONIZATION WITH KNOWN PREGNANCY STATUS

This resynchronization strategy (Figure 1) is started a minimum of 28 days after the first round of TAI. Pregnancy diagnosis is performed on all females and all females determined non pregnant receive an injection of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and a CIDR insert. Seven days later the CIDRs are removed, and non-pregnant females receive an injection of PG. TAI is then performed 54 hours (heifers) or 66 hours (cows) later. Using this strategy all non-pregnant females get exposed to a second round of TAI and synchronization hormones are only used on non-pregnant females.

RESYNCHRONIZATION WITH UNKNOWN PREGNANCY

There is an opportunity to begin resynchronization a week earlier and breed non-pregnant females sooner when resynchronizing females before pregnancy status is known. This strategy (Figure 2) starts a minimum of 21 days after the first round of TAI, before pregnancy diagnosis has been performed. All females receive a CIDR and an injection of GnRH. Seven days later the CIDRs are removed, and pregnancy diagnosis is performed. Only non-pregnant females receive an injection of PG and are TAI either 54 hours (heifers) or 66 hours (cows) later. Research has shown that only heifers require a CIDR insert in this resynchronization strategy and that a CIDR is unnecessary in cows (Epperson et al., 2020).

When resynchronizing, pregnancy status isn’t required. However, only non-pregnant females should receive prostaglandin (PG), as pregnant females will likely abort. FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2

If insemination after estrus detection is preferred to a second round of TAI, then females can simply be resynchronized with a CIDR insert. A CIDR is inserted 12 days after TAI and is removed 7 days later (Figure 3). Estrus detection and AI are performed following the removal of the CIDR.

IMPACT OF HORMONES ON PREGNANT FEMALES WHEN STATUS IS UNKNOWN

CIDRs contain progesterone, the hormone of pregnancy. In a pregnant female, a corpus luteum will naturally be producing progesterone to maintain pregnancy; therefore, the additional progesterone from the CIDR device will not harm the developing embryo.

Administration of GnRH will induce ovulation of mature follicles. If ovulation occurs, a corpus luteum will form that produces progesterone, which again, will not harm the developing fetus. Although neither progesterone or GnRH will negatively affect a developing fetus, PG will likely cause an abortion in pregnant females due to its ability to regress the corpus luteum and inhibit progesterone from being produced. Therefore, PG should only be administered to non-pregnant females.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

» Resynchronization is meant to be used as a tool to increase the number of females that conceive to genetically superior sires

» Pregnancy rates to resynchronization are often slightly decreased compared with the first round of insemination, as more fertile females have likely already become pregnant to the first insemination.

» Always keep handling stress to a minimum in resynchronization programs to minimize the potential for pregnancy loss associated with stress

» Do not administer PG to heifers or cows that may be pregnant

One of the many benefits of a resynchronization protocol is the additional calves born in a tight calving window. Genetics and uniformity are two of the most appealing things to cattle buyers and feeders.

Brady Larson, ABS Representative, KS

Clean-up bulls are simply destructive the 9 months out of the year they’re not busy breeding cows. By not using a clean-up bull, you can eliminate the need for additional facility space to house bulls. By using resynchronization this past year, we were able to eliminate the use of clean-up bulls all together.

Todd Johnson, ABS Customer, NE FIGURE

HEAT

Sexed semen can be used on any female observed in estrus (heat) and following synchronization with any protocol on the Cow or Heifer Protocol Sheet. For best results with sexed semen perform AI 16 to 22 hr after detecting female in estrus. Use of estrus detection aids (EDA) is highly recommended.

BREEDING DECISIONS MADE BETTER

Research Proven. Producer Trusted.

The ESTROTECT™ Breeding Indicator with Breeding Bullseye™ is more than a heat detector; it shows estrus intensity. University research indicates higher estrus intensity correlates to increased fertility. When more of the ESTROTECT™ patch ink rubs off, the better informed breeding decisions you can make.

If requested, other quality levels may be available on certain bulls including: CHOICE quality product of outsourced and certain high demand sires produced at ABS. This semen may not fully meet ABS’ normal PRIME semen quality standards but is within industry normal ranges and is fully CSS health qualified.

PRIORITY semen will be available on a request only basis on certain early release bulls. Like much of the custom collection semen used in the U.S., this product has not had full health testing to meet CSS minimum standards. It is designed for producers that are interested in getting the earliest possible semen from high demand sires.
