Sexcel®
Make your heifer replacement from your best cows. At a time when efficiency is crucial on dairy farms, producers need to reduce their variables.
Pick the double sided coin
“A unit of semen brings no real value to a dairy farmer unless it results in a cow pregnant with a female calf. A healthy heifer needs to be born and only then can genetic progress be seen. That’s where the value is found.
Creating pregnancies with conventional semen is like flipping a coin – the odds of getting a male or female calf are generally the same.
Power over biology
Using Sexcel, customers have the power to decide with, as much precision as biology and technology currently allows, which part of the herd will pass on their genetics and make replacement heifers for the next generation.”
