BREEDING LOGOS EXPLAINED

Sexed - male

Do you want to breed the next sire of sons or fattening bulls? Then take a look at our bulls from which we offer male-sexed semen.

A2/A2

Looking for A2/A2 bulls? Then you will find them among the bulls marked with the A2/A2 logo. They carry the sought after genetic Beta Casein variant A2/A2.

Do you work with an automatic milking system? Then bulls with the Robot logo are particularly suitable for your farm.

Genomic is good, proven is better? If you prefer highly reliable proven genetics, look out for our Proven logo, which indicates our daughter proven sires.

Sexed - female

Do you want to breed your own replacements and have daughters from the best cows in the herd? Then choose bulls from which we offer female-sexed semen.

Fertimax

Do you want to increase your herd conception rate? Then take a look at our bulls with a Fertimax logo. They are ultra-fertile and increase your chances of a successful insemination.

If the hoof health of your cows is a priority for you then take a look at bulls with the DDcontrol logo. This indicates that the bull is among the top 25% of bulls for resistance to digital dermatitis (Mortellaro).

DDpremium PROVEN

If the hoof health of your cows is a priority for you then take a look at bulls with the DDpremium logo. This indicates that the bull is among the top 10% of bulls for resistance to digital dermatitis (Mortellaro).

Are you looking for polled genetics? Bulls marked with our Polled logo are either homozygous (PP) or heterozygous (P) polled and carry their polled status in their name.

R-PTB POLLED

Don’t give Paratuberculosis a chance in your herd! Our Paratuberculosis Resistance logo (RPTB) indicates bulls that pass on a high level of resistance to ParaTBC to their offspring. We can provide genomic tests for females to identify which are more genetically resistant to Johnes. Please discuss with your breeding consultant.

The Perfect Fit BROWN SWISS BREEDING PROGRAM

BROWN SWISS

HISTORY OF THE BREED

The Brown Swiss breed is the 3rd dairy breed with 6 million Brown cattle worldwide and nearly 600 000 cows on official milk record, originated from the Alps.

Brown Swiss is a milk oriented dual-purpose breed with a high lifetime production, great milk quality and superior longevity. Her robustness and heat tolerance contribute to her great adaptability to any climate and management conditions.

arathon r nner with strong end rance to rod ce rich i or a ong ti e and ada tab e to an en iron ent

Brown Swiss is raised for its ideal balance between milk volumes and components, longevity, functionality, and adaptability, which makes it a very attractive and economically interesting cow.

It is a dual-purpose breed, more milk oriented with the highest lifetime production. Brown Swiss milk is a noble raw material to process high quality products, especially cheeses thanks to a high proportion of BB kappa and A2A2 beta caseins.

BROWN SWISS, A SMART CHOICE FOR HIGH QUALITY FARMING

Its calm and easy temperament positively influences the herd management. Its good character, hardiness and strong general health are assets in the animal handling, to facilitate breeder’s work on a daily basis.

Robustness allows them to adapt to any climate. By evacuating heat more easily and maintaining body condition, Brown Swiss can better tolerate heat stress.

FRENCH BROWN SWISS: THE PERFECT MIX

BGS is leading the unique Brown Swiss breeeding program in France and also runs the French national herd book. French Brown Swiss sires are in the top of rankings in all countries and produce world reference population thanks to Intergenomics.

The success story of Fleckvieh/Simmental started in in the Bernese Upland Alp’s area, Swit erland Simmental means Simmen valley. The goal was to breed an adaptable, robust and high-performing animal milk, beef, traction power . Middle of the th century more than 000 Fleckvieh animals were e ported each year incl. St. Petersburg in Russia . Between 30 and 0 e tensive Fleckvieh cattle imports took place to Germany Austria. The biggest Fleckvieh Dairy Simmental population in the world is in Germany with more than 00 000 herdbook cows and appro imately .2 Mio rst inseminations. In 20 genomic selection started.

QUALITY OF THE BREED

The Fleckvieh breed Dairy Simmental is highly valued worldwide due to its outstanding suitability as a dual-purpose breed. In addition to the high milk yield and milk components, the sale of male calves for fattening is a signi cant income factor. Fleckvieh offers milk, beef and tness on the highest level. The requirement for polled is also becoming increasingly important in the Fleckvieh breed. Almost 0 of all rst inseminations are now done with semen from polled bulls.

The Fleckvieh breed adapts perfectly to all farming systems worldwide, like intensive, e tensive, gra ing and organic, which offers a great fle ibility under various market conditions. Furthermore, Fleckvieh is e cellently suited for crossbreeding with other bovine dairy breeds as well as with ebu breeds.

B EE IN T T E IT IN E

Germany has the world’s largest Fleckvieh population and is running at independent evaluation centers a oint breeding evaluation with other European countries. A precise animal identi cation system combined with a sophisticated and over many decades perfected milk and beef recording system guarantees high data quality. The type evaluation is also an important part. Data from more than two million cows from ve countries and the genomic pro les of more than 60.000 cows are currently used in the breeding value estimation, in which the genetic potential of current and future breeding animals is determined. To determine the beef breeding values, information from more than 260 000 male animals is used for breeding value estimation.

The Total Merit Inde G German Gesamt ucht ert shows very well the weighting of the main traits for which the Fleckvieh breed stands.

ABOUT YPERIOS

DAN INGHAM, SYNETICS UK Beef Consultant, says:

The YPERIOS breeding really stood out on every farm we visited. Whether used for the increased fertility or to maximize calf quality every breeder highlighted excellent results. We mainly focused on the YPERIOS INRA95 cattle, a composite breed bred specifically for terminal crossing. Being a breeder of continental cattle it has always been hard to grasp the value of yet another breed entering the market but after seeing these cattle in the flesh it is hard to argue at the quality & performance they bring to the table! It was interesting to see the YPERIOS INRA95 bulls used not only on dairy crossing but also to bring added value to beef bred suckler calves in a commercial setting. The YPERIOS programme is most definitely one to keep an eye on for the future, on arriving home and speaking to a number of UK breeders it is evident that the reliability and consistency of the YPERIOS sires is second to none helping them grow in popularity.

I have since ordered straws of YPERIOS INRA95 and can’t wait to see the results!

EXCLUSIVELY FROM SYNETICS UK

THE SYNETICS BEEF BREEDING PROGRAMME

Select the most suitable SYNETICS’ beef bulls to cross with your dairy cows and enhance profitability!

With a significant proportion of beef production in many countries coming from dairy herds, dairy farmers are increasingly interested in producing higher value calves from dairy cows and the most likely way is to pay attention to selecting the most relevant beef genetics and, to some extent, the most relevant beef bulls to suit each herd or beef industry.

Of course, the first criterion for choosing your bull is to ensure that the cows are pregnant. All our bulls are tested on dairy cows to gather progeny testing information and are not selected if they do not reach our minimum fertility level. With this prerequisite met, you need to focus on calving ease, growth and efficiency, carcass weight, carcass conformation, carcass yield... All these traits, if combined, will help you to produce beef-on-dairy calves that buyers will value and that will generate greater profitability on your farm. This is

our common goal introducing you our new Beef on dairy catalogue, which includes 11 different breeds and 70 bulls selected to suit all types of production, whatever the age or slaughter weight, the breeding environments, or your own preference. The entire range is available in conventional and some bulls are also available in male sexed semen. If you want to develop the right Beef on Dairy strategy for your farm, your SYNETICS UK Breeding consultant or SYNETICS UK Beef consultant, Dan Ingham, are here to help.
