Selection Criteria for Shorthorn Sires UK Ltd Shorthorn Sires UK Ltd was established to provide top class Dairy Shorthorn genetics for use in the dairy herd. The Directors meet 3 times a year to consider any prospective young bulls which may be suitable for semen collection. The minimum selection criteria are that the dam has to be classified VG or EX and have at least one production index of 110 or greater. The bull himself is also inspected by the Directors to ensure he is of suitable conformation. Other factors such as butterfat and protein percentage, genetic indexes of parents, and pedigree are all considered before a bull is accepted for collection by SSUK. The stringent selection process has proved to be an extremely reliable measure of a young bull’s expected genetic potential. Shorthorn Sires UK also markets semen on behalf of Dairy Shorthorn Society members and these are listed as members bulls. These bulls are not selected by SSUK Directors and the information available for these bulls is as published in the catalogue. Shorthorn Sires UK Ltd also markets Beef Shorthorn semen along similar lines and Beef Shorthorn Bulls can be found at the back of the brochure, the majority of which are marketed on behalf of Beef Shorthorn Society members.

Guidance on the use of Sexed Semen Selecting the correct animal Sexed semen was initially designed for use on maiden heifers but over the past few years it has proven extremely successful when used on cows. It is essential when selecting cows to serve to sexed semen that she is good condition and has good fertility history. Cows that have had mastitis, held cleansings, are lameness or bad health should not be served with sexed semen. Sexed semen is not recommended for use with synchronisation programmes where heifers or cows are bred using fixed time insemination. Nutrition From at least a month before the service period the aim is to get heifers & cows settled and in a stress free condition. Cows milking heavily and losing condition are less likely to get in calf. Settle the animals onto a consistent diet, nutritionally balanced for energy, protein and minerals preferably on a rising plane of nutrition. Do not make diet changes for one month before or after the service period. Heat Detection Heifers should be moved into easily handled groups. Large groups can be difficult to handle and can cause stress. This also makes it easier to spot heats. Observing heats is very important and we suggest the it is done 3 times a day for 15 minutes. Results have shown for best conception rates serving 12 hours after the onset of a standing heat. Insemination should be as stress free as possible for the animal. Handling Sexed Semen 1.Attention to detail is essential when handling sexed semen. 2.Use tweezers, never fingers to handle straws. 3.Never take out an individual straw to look at and then put back. It will almost certainly damage the sperm. 4.Check the temperature of the water in your thawing device with a thermometer. 5.Flick the straw to remove any trapped nitrogen. 6.Thaw the straw straight away at 37°C for 40 seconds. 7.Thoroughly dry the straw, water kills sperm. 8.Use clean straw cutters, or sharp scissors to cut off the sealed end. 9.Once thawed don't let the straw cool down again. 10.Pre-warm the AI equipment and keep it insulated until the insemination (especially in cold weather ). 11.Animals should be inseminated within 5 minutes of removing from the tank. 12.Once thawed, straws cannot be re-frozen. 13.Do not split straws.
