Breeding and reproduction targets in a year-round calving system are the focus this month. Matt Brett from Tocal Dairy joins us again to talk about the breeding program at Tocal, looking at their strategy, the systems they have in place to manage and monitor herd reproductive performance and their use of sexed semen.
Dr Luke Ingenhoff, veterinarian from Sydney University visits Tocal on a monthly basis and compiles an invaluable report which is used by the Tocal team to monitor the herd reproductive performance and pick up any early issues before they become a costly problem to the business. Luke explains what occurs during a monthly visit and gives us an excellent outline on some of the key targets to monitor in year-round calving systems.
