The recommendations are as follows:

• Normal semen  35-36°C (95°F)  for 45 seconds
• Sexed semen 36-37°C (98°F) for 40 seconds

If this does not take place then a percentage of sperm will die long before they ever see a cow, this has even greater consequences for sexed semen and older straws.

The Dairymac A.i. Gun Superwarmer offers a temperature-controlled environment for A.i. Guns which have been loaded with straws of freshly thawed Bull Semen.

Semen Handling Procedure

The Bull Semen will have been stored in plastic straws and removed from liquid Nitrogen at -196°C (-320°F) and then usually thawed with a Dairymac Superthaw to 36° (96°F) or 37°C (98°F). The straw is then inserted into a stainless-steel A.i Gun, the tip snipped off and a protective sheath put over the top. Good practice is to also cover the A.i. Gun with a plastic chemise to stop Faecal contamination.

After this the traditional method of keeping the ‘loaded Ai Gun with thawed semen inside is to stick it down your back, with the vague home that your own body temperature will keep the semen warm and alive.

This is clearly not best practice.

The Dairymac A.i. Gun Superwarmer is a temperature-controlled environment which can keep the semen alive for several hours, although it is considered best to try and get the semen into the cow with 10-20 minutes.

Every farmer or technician knows the panic of carrying several loaded A.i. Guns around trying to manoeuvre cattle in a chute and losing valuable minutes.

The Dairymac A.i. Gun Superwarmer takes this panic away.

Quite simply it does a better job at keeping Bull Semen warm, this is particularly important in the colder winter months where the A.i. Technicians own body temperature can wildly fluctuate.

DAIRYMAC BRAY BREEDING CALENDAR

The Dairymac Bray Calendar is a comprehensive visual record of your dairy herd, giving you key information at a glance. The Dairymac Bray Calendar system is used effectively by many dairy herds as a comprehensive and effective visual management tool and for those with a computer based system the Bray Calendar is an excellent back up and visual guide.  The Bray calendar can be safely viewed by all staff, family and outside contractors without providing access to precious computer data.

The Bray Calendar is a metal board, with a central dial and indicators, protected by Perspex doors.  Unlike your computer system, the Bray Calendar can be safely positioned on the wall of your dairy, where it is needed.  The dial works though a 365 day cycle and can identify what point in the breeding and production cycle each of your cows are, or should be.  The calendar helps spot issues before they become problems.

The system provides indications of expected heats, when to inseminate, calving, the need to dry off, confirm in calf etc.  This complete system allows the herd to be assessed at a glance and encourages more careful monitoring of herd activity, in turn resulting in improved efficiencies and profits.

Each Calendar can monitor over 500 cows and farmer can run multiple calendars for larger herds.

Each cow is represented a 6 coloured magnetic cubes, you can either buy blank magnets and a special marker pen or pre-printed magnets 1-75, 76-150, etc up to 975.

Roger Mann – 80 Cows Warwickshire

“My Bray Calendar tells me exactly when a cow needs to be dried off, and whenever something happens such as a cow calving you update her magnet and are able to check the rest of the herd at the same time. All my management decisions are based on what my Bray Calendar tells me and it is always consulted before the vet visits so I can tell him the status of the herd.”

Dehorning / Disbudding is the process of removing the horn buds from a young animal, before they develop into horns. The best time for Dehorning is between week 3 and 8, but it may vary from breed to breed. The height of the young horn bud should not be more than 1cm.

Why dis-bud or de-horn?

• Safety: Horned animals can pose a safety risk to both humans and other animals, as they can use their horns to inflict serious injuries. Dehorning can help reduce the risk of accidental injury or aggression.
• Health: Horns can sometimes become infected or injured, leading to pain and other health problems for the animal. Removing the horns can help prevent these issues.
• Management: Horns can make it difficult to handle, transport and manage animals, as they can get caught in fences and other equipment. Dehorning can make it easier to handle animals for tasks such as veterinary procedures or transportation.

The Solution!
