Reproductive
Reproduction drives profitability
We tailor solutions to each farm and work with you to reach your reproductive goals.Our approach:
- Practical, farm-specific plans — we assess your herd, target problems, and set measurable goals.
- Vet-led support — from quick interventions to long-term consultancy.
- Outcome focused — improving in‑calf rates, reducing empty cows, and increasing days in milk.
Key services
Metrichecking
Detect and treat uterine infections to improve 6‑week in‑calf rates and reduce empties; successful treatment can add 14–20 extra days in milk per cow.
Why Wait (early cycling)
Single timed injections on cycling cows to increase matings in the first 10 days, adding ~4–5 extra days in milk per treated cow.
Non‑cycler programs
Veterinary protocols (e.g., ProSync/Ovsynch) to treat non‑cycling cows, typically adding 15–21 days in milk and extra income per cow.
Heifer synchrony
Synchronise heifers for AB mating to tighten calving, boost replacement numbers and genetic gains (options: Econosynch, Cosynch).
Pregnancy scanning & reporting
Accurate on‑farm scanning with Infovet recording, ageing, pregnancy rates, and complete on‑farm reports plus management advice.
Key services continued
Bull fertility testing (crushside)
Physical exam, semen collection, motility and lab morphology to reduce the risk of sub‑fertile bulls.
