PROVEN PROFITABLE PROGRESSIVE PROCROSS is the proven crossbreeding program used by progressive dairy farmers in the U.S., Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal and around the world. The combination of Swedish Red, Montbeliarde and Holstein has proven to be the most profitable crossbreeding program because you get the maximum hybrid vigor on top of the high performance of these three breeds. The Swedish Red calve easily, are highly fertile and are medium sized, high-producing cows with excellent udder health. The Montbeliarde breed is a 100 percent dairy breed producing high-quality protein. Montbeliardes are known for outstanding feet and legs, healthy udders and have adapted body condition that ensures high fertility. Holsteins are world-renowned for milk production and udder conformation.
GETTING STARTED Start by breeding your Holsteins to Swedish Red sires. In a pure Holstein herd, the extreme calving ease of the Swedish Red bulls will give heifers an extra guarantee to calve safely. Montbeliarde semen should be used on all Swedish Red/Holstein heifers and cows. A color tagging system is a great way to keep track of the breeding rotation. It is important to strictly follow the same order for each breed in the rotation, enhancing hybrid vigor. Assigning a different color tag for each breed makes it easy to know what breed to use when inseminating the animal.
HETEROSIS The effects of heterosis are the opposite of inbreeding depression. Research indicates that heterosis is great for traits like vitality, fertility, health and survival, allowing higher production than parent average. The additive breed effects are important in crossbreeding as well as in all breeding. The heterosis is an extra benefit on top of the parent average. So, one critical point to remember is that you should always use the best bulls in the breeds. A crossbreeding program needs to be well-planned and organized to produce benefits. PROCROSS is the combination of three unrelated, competitive breeds, all with efficient breed improvement programs.
• Result in more pregnant cows Swedish Red and Montbeliarde crosses are known for their higher fertility.
WHY THREE BREEDS? Capturing and sustaining heterosis is the key to an efficient crossbreeding program. Once you have gotten used to the extra bonus of heterosis, you do not want it to drop below 75 percent. For two-breed crisscrossing, the extent of heterosis drops 50 percent in the second generation - leveling off at 67 percent. A system of four breeds results in a high heterosis on average, but contribution of each individual breed is too diluted. A three-breed rotation is the optimum and results in average heterosis of 86 percent.
UTILIZING THE PROCROSS WILL: • Maintain or increase your herd’s solids production
• Provide easier calving Swedish Red and Montbeliarde crosses have outstanding maternal calving ability due to strong selection for decades.
