Why
Should I Synchronize?
Getting the most out of your reproduction program is
vital in today's cattle industry. Recently developed
synchronization systems for cows and heifers are more
reliable, more productive and more profitable than ever
before. Synchronizing cattle reduces costs, saves labor
and adds value to both your breeding animals and the
calves you produce, generating rewards that mean greater
profit potential.
Beef
Programs

- Which
Beef Program?
Beef Advantages Beef
Synchronization programs get a high percentage of
pregnancies in the 1st week of the breeding season
resulting in:
-
- lncreased
Pregnancy Rates
- By increasing the potential number of heats during
the breeding season.
- lnduces a fertile estrus in many anestrous cows.
- More days postpartum when the next breeding season
begins.
-
- lncreased
Weaning Weights
- earlier-bom calves are heavier at weaning time.
-
- lncreased
Uniformity of your Calf Crop
- groups of same age, same weight and same color calves
are worth more!
-
- More
Predictable Performance
- using Proven A.I. Genetics allows you to utilize
sires that have Proven Performance.
-
- lncreased
Cow Productivity
- Heifers that are bom early in the calving season
are more likely to conceive early in their first breeding
season and subsequent breeding seasons, wean heavier
calves and are more profitable during their lifetime
than their later-born contemporaries.

Dairy Program?
Dairy Advantages
Increased
Pregnancy Rates
- Increase the predictability of ovulation allowing
for greater pregnancy rates.
- Induces a fertile estrus in many anestrous cows.
Less
Days Open
- Studies show that cows more than 90 days open have
a cost of $3.00 per day.
Decreased
Heat Detection
- by structuring estrus cycles you will reduce time
and labor spent detecting heat.
More
Predictable Performance
- using Proven A.I. Genetics allows you to utilize proven
sires. See Net merit advantage
Less
Services per conception
- Better pregnancy rates using sychronization will reduce
services per conception and you will be more confident
to use better semen which in turn will improve herd
preformance.

Dairy Program?
Pay
Attention to Details
- First-calf
heifers, late-calving cows, difficult births and retained
placentas are all associated with reduced fertility.
Group these "high risk"animals seperately
so maximum nutrition, veterinary care and tlc can
be efficiently provided.
- Vaccinate
at least 3 weeks prior to breeding
- Use
some type of estrous detection aid (tail chalk, tail
paint, Kamar) to improve the efficiency of your heat
detection program.
- Make
sure adequate labor will be available for heat detection
and breeding and that each person is adequately trained
for their assigned task.
- Recheck
the semen tank and breeding kit to ensure adequate
quantities of semen and all breeding supplies are
in your possession before you synchronize animals.
- Make
sure all handling facilities are in proper working
order and safe for both man and beast.
