After completing AI sessions and pregnancy testing you should maintain ongoing AI records. This will help you:

After insemination, return cattle to their paddock ensuring they have adequate feed and water. The Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines for Cattle state that cattle must be returned to food and water after insemination. You should continue to monitor the animal and ensure that they are eating, drinking, and showing signs of alertness. Early

In this video, Steph explains how timely pregnancy testing impacts farm-making decisions and impacts AI. Pregnancy testing with foetal aging helps you to predict the next calving date with some accuracy. You can use this information to identify dry-o dates more accurately for individual animals that provide a 60-day dry period. Now you can milk

Determining Conception rates The conception rate is the percentage of inseminations that resulted in pregnancy as determined by pregnancy testing. Taken alone, this measure does not describe overall herd reproductive performance, but a satisfactory conception rate is required to achieve high 6-week in-calf rates and 100-day in-calf rates. Conception rate is the percentage of inseminations

In this section, we focused on the activities that you need to undertake after the insemination. The main points to remember are:

You need to complete ongoing maintenance on your artificial insemination equipment to ensure that it is ready for your next insemination session. Select each heading to learn more. Remember maintenance and storage of equipment impact the success of your artificial insemination.

After completing AI sessions and pregnancy testing you should maintain ongoing AI records. This will help you:

It is important to set realistic objectives and know how to use your measurement and monitoring system to assess the performance of your herd. This will help you as you apply and adapt your reproductive management plan for your farm. The InCalf book provides industry-level targets to strive for in: Targets The targets describe the
