DairyTalk 738: Breeding Strategy, Not Leftover Semen: Why the Semen Tank Shapes Genetic Progress - by Helmut Demmelhuber
This podcast episode is based on an article by breeding consultant Helmut Demmelhuber examining how semen inventory management can become an integral part of a dairy farm's genetic strategy. Rather than selecting sires fromwhatever doses remain in the tank, breeding objectives should determine which bulls are stocked and what specific role each sire is expected to fulfill. Combining genomic young sires with daughter-proven bulls can help balance genetic progress and reliability, while targeted use of sexed semen alignsreplacement production with actual herd requirements. Regular inventory…
