BREEDING Improving fertility performance Acheiving a calf per cow every 365 days Pre Breeding Season Vaccinations & Dosing Complete all vaccinations 3 weeks prior to the breeding season. Ensure appropriate measures are in place to control fluke and worms in cows and heifers. Maiden Heifers Ensure that they are on target for bodyweight Cows BCS- Body condition score is crucial in achieving cows returning to heat and conception rates. Autumn cows need to be in a BCS of 3-3.25 at breeding, spring calving cows can be slightly less. Secondly the loss in BCS from calving to breeding needs to be minimized to 0.5. Always separate dry cows and milking cows as first calvers, thin cows, those with little milk need to be supplemented after calving until they go back incalf, the level of supplementation will depend on the silage quality. Clean healthy Uterus At risk cows need to be treated for uterine infections 28 days after calving by your vet. At risk cows are cows that had difficult calvings, retained afterbirth, caesareans and those passing a discharge. Research has shown that Metricure at Day 28 followed by PG 10 days later to be effective. Any cows calved 40 days not detected in heat needs to be examined by your vet. Getting cows cycling
List and costs of heat detection aids available Product Ukal bull harness (for vasectomised bull) Ukal marking block (for Ukal bull harness) Chinball harness (for vasectomised bull) Chinball paint (for chinball harness) Paintsticks (12 per box) E-alert heat patches (available in packs of 10/25/50)
Synchronisation
Synchronisation is an excellent way to increase the number of cows or heifers served with minimum heat detection. However it is not a substitute for poor management. Cows have to be in good body condition and calved at least 40 days Synchronisation Programme for cows 1st Dec. 9th Dec. 10th Dec. 11th Dec. 12th Dec.

Breeding Season- All about heat detection You will have to have a vasectomised bull or else use scratch cards or paint sticks. Vasectomised bull-A vasectomised bull fitted with a chinball either the cheaper ukal or the more robust harness is the best way to heat detect sucklers, as the presence of the bull will induce cows into heat and he will work 24 hours 7 days a week. Scratch cards- Scratch E cards are excellent however they need to be heated immediately prior to application either by a hair dryer or on the dashboard of the car with the heating up high, otherwise they will not stick.

Get Body Condition Score right. Easy calvings and treat the difficult ones. Separation of the cow and calf 3 weeks before breeding is an excellent and simple way of getting cows cycling. This can be done easily by having an opening from the creep area out into a paddock and locking out the calves by day initially and into the creep at night allowing them to suck twice a day. This will get cows cycling 3 weeks earlier as was demonstrated on the ‘better farms’.
