Success of your repro program is reliant on many different factors at your dairy. Our first focus needs to be on healthy cows that have transitioned well, are fed a well-balanced diet, and are in adequate condition to get pregnant. From that point, select the repro strategy that best fits the dynamics of the dairy. This strategy should include consideration for natural heat detection, synchronization protocols, and appropriate labor allocation to ensure the program can be executed at a high level.
