With the breeding season just around the corner it is important that farmers begin recording heats to ensure the best results are achieved.
Accurate heat detection is an important component to achieving a successful breeding season on dairy farms.
Heat detection plays a crucial part in determining the amount of cows submitted and the number of cows correctly submitted for breeding.
During the recent Teagasc/ICBF breeding week three key reproductive targets were identified as being critically important in seasonal calving dairy herds.
Heat detection is what determines the number of cows correctly submitted for breeding and heat detection methods are key.
As the calving season begins to quieten down on many farms across the country, focus now turns to getting prepared for dairy breeding season.
This slippage in the national calving interval has made more and more farmers consider different technologies, such as heat-detection systems.

Poor or inaccurate heat detection is the main cause of missed heats or false heats (wrongly submitted cows for breeding).
The MooMonitor+ is a health and fertility monitoring system which detects cows in heat and monitors the resting, rumination etc.
This new product will now allow you to carry out tail-painting safely from the milking parlour pit, taking just a few seconds per cow.
Heat detection aids can help identify bulling cows and this is particularly important for herds using AI.
