Dovea Genetics Dairy Catalogue 2013 by Lyndsey Behan

Introduc.on

I N T R O D U C T I O N

On behalf of the Dovea Gene%cs team, we would like to welcome you to our 2013 Dairy Directory. We are confident we have the best ever line up of dairy sires from Dovea Gene%cs and have a bull to suit every produc%on system. The success of the Dovea Gene%cs Genomics Programme is very evident in this catalogue. We have the highest ever EBI bulls available in 2013. Dovea Gene%cs has paid the highest price of all dairy breeding companies in Ireland for high EBI genomic calves for the past two years. Dovea has set the price resul%ng in other companies following us. We are con%nuously looking for new high EBI bulls so if you have a high EBI bull calf or a pregnancy please contact our Dairy Programme Manager Mr. Tim Fitzmaurice on 087-2359709 or via email on %mfitzmaurice@eircom.net. The aboli%on of milk quotas in 2015 and the proposed expansion in dairy cow numbers at farm level can be achieved quickly through the use of sexed semen. Dovea Gene%cs is delighted to offer you Ireland’s largest selec%on of sexed semen types. We have pure Friesian sexed semen, Holstein sexed semen, high type Holstein sexed semen, high EBI genomic sexed semen and Jersey sexed semen. The use of this will advance gene%c progress and will ensure adequate replacement rate for a non milk quota environment. We hope you enjoy reading this 2013 Dairy Directory and by using some of our gene%cs you will add value to your farming enterprise. Dr. Ger Ryan General Manager Dovea Gene%cs

Health & Safety

Health and safety has rightly become an important issue on Irish dairy farms. Our A.I. technician service would appreciate proper restraining and handling facili.es are in place for their safety and to achieve good concep.on rates using A.I.

Pedigree Status

There are a number of genomic sires in our 2013 dairy directory that we have classiﬁed as SRM. The use of these bulls in a pedigree herd will aﬀect the pedigree status of subsequent progeny. Please contact us in Dovea if you wish to discuss further.
