Sexed Semen – Getting it right from the start

Join us for a webinar with Vet Dave Gilbert and farmer, Ben Redman, to hear how you can get the best breeding results for your herd with sexed semen.   

Sexed semen is a great option for farmers looking to breed replacements from their best females and lift their overall herd performance. In the 12 months to March 2021, sales of sexed semen made up 63.5% of all dairy semen sales, up from 31.9% in 2019.

To get the best results requires selecting the best cows, inseminating at the right time and with the correct insemination technique. Whether you are carrying out your own AI or using an external team, this webinar will help you find out how to improve your success rates when using sexed semen.

Join Dave Gilbert and Ben Redman to learn:  

• Value of sexed semen and what to expect
• The best method for cow selection
• Handling semen and timing of insemination
• Perfecting insemination technique
• Managing staff or external teams doing AI

Use our tools to decide your best breeding animals and calculate your sexed semen usage.

Our Breed4Better page pulls together resources to help you make informed decisions and understand your options for using sexed semen. You can also use AHDB’s herd genetic report to help make more informed breeding decisions by identifying which animals to breed to dairy and which to beef. And use the semen usage calculator to decide how much sexed you will need.
