In today’s modern dairy industry, there are numerous strategies to achieve successful pregnancies in dairy cows. As Dr. Craig DeMuth notes, if you were to ask ten different dairy specialists for their opinions, you would likely receive ten different answers. However, there is general consensus on certain fundamental principles essential for effective dairy reproduction. Key among these are maintaining a proper level of nutrition and ensuring optimal animal health, which form the foundation of any successful reproductive program.
Most dairies today rely on Artificial Insemination (AI) and employ methods such as heat detection and Timed Artificial Insemination (TAI) to ensure precise and timely delivery of semen. To optimize reproductive results, it is crucial to implement a comprehensive strategy that encompasses these practices, thereby supporting both the health and productivity of the herd.
