Getting the Best Results from A.I.
•
www.bova-ai.com
will bring you all the latest
news from Bova.
We will endeavour to keep
it up-dated and would be
very grateful of any photos
or news stories you would
like to share.
Heat detection rates average about 55%. Improvements are gained by taking more time,
i.e. 20 - 30 minutes on each occasion, and by more early morning and late night inspections.
•
Although average heats last 12 - 15 hours, 25 - 30% of cows have heats of less than 6 hours.
•
Prevent cows getting either too fat or too thin. Cows in condition score 2 - 3 (scale 1 - 5) are optimal.
Thriving animals always do better.
•
Avoid excessive weight loss around the time of service.
•
Treat lame animals promptly.
•
Breeding cows within 50 days of calving tends to give poor results.
•
Never breed any cow with a dirty vaginal discharge or evidence of ‘whites’.
•
Keep complete records of all cows that come into heat and use them to anticipate returns.
Where cows are not coming into heat have your vet examine and treat them.
•
A cow standing firm to be mounted is the best sign of heat, but remember 6-8% of pregnant animals will stand too.

Jean-Marc Pacaut, Laizy, France
Charolais
Purchased at Magny Cour Show in Sept. 2004 where
he was much admired by many breeders from around
the world. Has produced excellent calves in France &
Ireland. Has a power packed pedigree – his dam Jacobine
has produced regularly for 9 years. Jacobine is also the
dam of Omnibus RVS (ISEVR 108). She is also a full sister
to Liquer and a maternal sister to Galette – this being the
top cow family in Jean-Marc Pacauts herd. Sylvain has the
Length, Scale, Style and Muscling for the most discerning
breeder. His calves in Ireland are displaying Sylvain's
own best attributes - big with that extra body length so
desirable today, correctness- standing on four good legs
and his indisputable style. Probably by his daughters will
Sylvain be rightly classed as a “breeders bull” - why wait
any longer to use the natural and superior successor to
Jupiter (breeder – Jean-Marc Pacaut). Sylvain sons and
daughters have excelled at Irish and French National
Charolais shows.
