Aulbrae Zamora, Kilkenny “Learning the science of bovine artificial insemination at Dunmasc Genetics is one of the best decision I've ever made. The hands-on approach of Stephen during our training made the difference, it provides us the guidance on how to effectively perform the AI procedure.”
Tom Flanagan, Laois
“As a part-time farmer, the AI course gives me more flexibility to AI the cows at the optimum time. Stephen and Sean were excellent at giving onsite training and I found it very useful to learn the different approaches to handling cows and the different techniques. They were very forthcoming in sharing their own experiences and answering any questions we had.”
The first day (theory) will take place in Midlands Park Hotel, Portlaoise Co. Laois, or via Zoom, depending on Covid-19 restrictions. The remaining four days will take place on a farm, we use locking barriers, and each animal will be locked in for Health and Safety, you will receive disposable gowns and gloves daily, and we will supply hand sanitizers as part of our Covid-19 policy to safeguard participants while training. Please make sure that your footwear is clean, disinfection point will be in place. Please bring your own face mask.
Upon completion of your training course, you will be issued with your certificate and an application form for your DIY AI Licence, which you will send to the Department of Agriculture, your licence is valid for five years and you can name up to two other farms on your licence together with your own farm. (Three in total)
David Hudson, Wicklow
I found the DIY AI course very useful. We use a lot of AI on our home farm in Wicklow and would like to be able to serve cows ourselves. After completing the course, I now know how to handle semen properly and inseminate the cows so now I can buy straws from more companies. The course was well run and managed. I would recommend it to other dairy farmers.
Mark Shorten, Cork
“The 5 day D.I.Y A.I course training with Dunmasc genetics was hugely beneficial to me. This course offered me a great insight into reproduction, artificial insemination, equipment, and semen handling. After the 5 days I felt I was very confident and ready to AI the cows in my own herd. I would strongly recommend Dunmasc Genetics to anyone thinking of partaking in a D.I.Y AI course. The team at Dunmasc genetics were very welcoming and easy to deal with in relation to all aspects of the course.”
