Conception is the most crucial step in breeding which is why we offer Ireland’s greatest fertility solutions on our elite dairy beef range! 💫
Our Spermvital range has been revolutionising the AI industry since its introduction to Ireland!
Farmers have been seeing massive increases in conception rates through use of Spermvital technology particularly amongst problem cows!
Sean Cleere used Spermvital straws on his repeat cows last breeding season with incredible success!
Spermvital technology allows semen to remain viable in the cow for nearly twice as long as conventional straws giving greater chances of conception and more cows in calf.
Use Spermvital semen for:
🔹 Early Insemination
▪️ Heat detection will be less time consuming and you will be able to inseminate as soon as you see the first signs of heat.
🔹 Weak signs of heat
▪️Timing of the inseminations will be less time critical, and therefore beneficial for the cows with weak or uncertain signs of heat
🔹 Avoid double inseminations
▪️In many cases double inseminations are used when it is considered important to get the cow pregnant as soon as possible. This can be avoided by using Spermvital semen.
🔹 Increase flexibility
▪️ Timing of inseminations will be less time critical, and inseminations on weekends and holidays can be avoided.
