Alta Releases NEW Bi-Lingual AI Training DVD

March 20, 2007 (Balzac, Alberta) – Alta is pleased to announce today the launch of a new artificial insemination DVD for training breeders on progressive dairies. The DVD is produced in English and Spanish, providing a bi-lingual training resource fit for expanding dairy operations.

“The generation of pregnancies is a key economic driver on a dairy,” states Charlie Perotti, Director of Alta’s reproductive consulting and training program called AltaPreg. “This video shows the proper techniques to optimize heat detection and conception rates.”

“And we take time to explain the importance of this job to the performance of the dairy. We find that helps to empower your team and encourage members to pay attention to being effective,” Perotti continues.

Dr. Carlos Tellez, an AltaPreg specialist, and his team are the on-camera instructors that deal with all of the details of the AI process. The video was produced in consultation with a team of reproductive and training specialists that have each trained students on hundreds of dairies milking thousands of cows.

“This video is cutting edge in terms of an applied training tool,” says Perotti. “There is nothing better in the industry that shows the AI technique in such a student-friendly style.”

The DVD covers all topics related to an effective reproductive program. Sections on reproductive anatomy, heat detection and tail chalking, breeding technique and key performance indicators are included. The topic menu can be used for easy navigation to replay sections for additional review, and additional training materials, like color slides with key messages, are also included on the DVD.

Innovative camera work is used to actually show proper techniques and common mistakes. For instance, viewers can see proper technique while working inside the cow. A sample video clip of the DVD is available on the Alta Resources section of www.altagenetics.com.

The AI training DVD is an addition to a bi-lingual series of tools created by Alta in an effort to help bridge the cultural gap on farms across the United States and be valuable to other dairy managers around the world. It is just another example of Alta’s commitment to creating value and delivering results for progressive dairy producers.

Copies of the AI Training DVD are available through your Alta representative for a retail price of US$25 per copy or as part of a complete business and training package.
