The Beef Edge

Key aspects of a synchronisation regime for a suckler beef herd


Listen Later

As we approach the start of the beef breeding season Dr.David Kenny, researcher in Teagasc Grange joins Catherine Egan to discuss key aspects of a synchronisation regime for a suckler beef herd.

 

Currently usage of artificial insemination (AI) is low in Irish suckler herds and this has implications for the speed of genetic improvement. In Ireland, approximately 1 out of every 5 calves born in beef herds are bred from artificial insemination. 

 

David highlights the advantages and disadvantages to AI in the beef herd and he also outlines key checks on your stock bull.
