Ireland Genetics Breeding ProgrammeThe Ireland Genetics breeding programme is a breeding programme specifi-cally designed to deliver the most profitable genetics for the Irish Dairy and Beef industries. Because we in Ireland have a unique production system to become the most efficient farms we need to ensure we have a supply of optimal genetics to suit our unique system. Ireland Genetics is delivering this.

A Breeding Program worth Billions to Irish FarmersThis year almost 50,000 dairy replacements will be born on Irish farms from NCBC bulls. In 2010 the average EBI of bulls sold was €215. This will mean an annual gain to Irish farmers of €110 million per year over the next ten years.If the full potential of over 200,000 dairy replacements were all bred by these bulls the NCBC breeding program has the potential to deliver a gain of over €500 million per year over the next ten years.

• Most bulls on Active List• Best Value for Money• Highest EBI

In 2011 use the best bulls from Irelands best stud

The grassland alliance is a col-laboration between NCBC and CRV Ambreed. It has the effect of pooling the resources of two

of the largest grazing genetics programs in the world. We have selected several bulls from this collaboration for the coming year. They are marked with the grassland alliance logo and are sourced from CRV Ambreed in New Zealand. We expect this venture to allow us to continue to provide Irish farmers with the best genetics for Ireland.

Low activity alert - Identi�es potential sick cows •

• Widely tried and tested in Irish grazing conditions

Quick identi�cation of cows in heat, also non-cycling cowswith no heats recorded

•

Standalone - �ts in any parlour, no need for PC •

Proven benefi ts

How it worksThree simple stepsStep 1 – Cow activity is monitored with a unique H-Tag which will record cows activity in 2-hour blocks, providing highly detailed management data on the cows activity levels and their intensity.

Step 2 – Data is collected each time the cow passes under the ID unit. The data is transferred from the tag to the control box using infra-red communication.

Step 3 – Activity data is analysed by the system using proprietary algorithms which separates the cow’s day to day activity from oestrus related activities.

In addition to “High Activity” (oestrus related) Heatime ®

will highlight cows with “Low” activity levels. This can benefi t herd managers with an e�ective system for the early detection of animals needing management attention; such as Mastitis, Lameness etc.

Make this breeding season count!Call about Heatime today

Takes the guessing out of heat detection. I have

10% more cows in calf and am calving 10 days earlier. Has paid for itself in one

year.

Heatime is allowing me to meet my expansion targets by reducing my empty rate. I don’t use

other aids anymore.

My Submission rate is higher and I can

identify sick cows with low activity. We totally

trust Heatime

Nothing can match Heatime

for catching cows in heat.

What to Do?Take the �rst step in establishing your herd’s health status

Ask for a Bulk Tank Screen test at your next milk recordingORCall to book a Bulk Tank Screen

Do not underestimate the value of diagnostic testing in achieving optimal health management of your herd. Get started today to reduce disease losses.

I.B.R.A bulk tank sample will establish level of exposure in milking herd.Regular bulk samples can be used to monitor status and establish a disease control plan with your vet.

JohnesScreen 20-30 older cows to establish herd status.Regular whole herd individual milk test in problem herds to identify carriers. Begin control program in problem herds after dicussion with your vet.

Tests provided by:

Bulk Tank: (Virus & Antibody)Blood or Milk (Virus & Antibody)

BVD Disease tests Available at iMLAntibody & Virus (Blood, Milk, Ear Notch)Other tests available:Bulk Milk: IBR, Johnes, Liver Fluke, Neospora, Lepto Individual animal tests (milk/blood): Johnes Disease IBR Neospora Liver FlukeNew Developments:Mastitis Bacteria I.D. (PCR test)

Remember1. Bulk milk testing can be used to e�ectively establish your herd’s health status with regard to BVD, IBR, Leptospirosis, Neospora, Liver Fluke. It is best carried out 3-4 times over the lactation . Com-bined with random testing of individual youngstock, bulk milk testing proves a highly e�ective and economical tool to identify disease in your herd. 2. If active disease is identi�ed in your herd, individual animal testing may be warranted to achieve e�ective control.3. Individual animal testing is the best way to determine the Johnes Disease status of your herd.

IML can provide appropriate disease testing packages to allow both disease investiga-tion and continuous disease monitoring within your herd.

Milk Recording for SCC & Herd Improvement

Progressive Genetics operate an ISO approved milk recording service and operate under the strict ICAR guidelines for herd improvement recordingReportingProgressive genetics use the ICBF database and milk recording reports. We include as standard the Herd Summary, Individual Cow and Mastitis Problem Cow report. All reports are posted. The farmer also receives his 5 high SCC text message and data email for farm computer package.PricingProgressive Genetics charges per recording done. i.e. They are charged for each recording rather than for each cows lactation. This allows the farmer to decide how many recordings will �t his own needs and easily add recordings when needed.For manual (recorder assisted) the charge is €2.10 per cow per recording. For E-DIY the charge is €105 for �rst 50 cows and €1.60 per each extra cow.For example a 50 cow herd under manual recording would pay €105 for a record-ing. The farmer than decides how may recording he wants in a year. Many farmers will record every two months or four time a year but record more frequently or add a recording if the herd SCC rises and more information is needed.
