Dairy Reproduction & Fertility
Dairy Reproduction & Fertility
Reproductive performance is the single biggest driver of a dairy farm's profit. We build a fertility programme around your herd and your calving pattern to lift your in-calf rate season on season.
Good fertility is not luck. It is the sum of dozens of decisions made across the season. We work with you before mating, through AB and over the whole reproductive period to find the cows that need help early and keep the rest cycling and getting in calf.
As a practice led by an RCVS-recognised Advanced Cattle Vet, we bring a genuinely specialist approach to dairy reproduction - the kind of detail that turns a middling in-calf rate into a top-quartile one.
Getting more cows in calf
- Pre-mating and non-cycler checks and treatment
- Metrichecking and early intervention for at-risk cows
- Whole-herd InCalf planning and 6-week in-calf rate targets
- Pregnancy scanning and aged pregnancy testing
- Bull soundness and breeding management advice
- Season reviews so next year is better again
Dairy Reproduction & Fertility - your questions
When should we start our reproduction programme?
Ideally well before mating, so we can pick up non-cyclers and at-risk cows and treat them in time. Talk to us at your pre-mating visit and we will map the season out with you.
Can you help lift our 6-week in-calf rate?
Yes. That is exactly what an InCalf-style programme is built to do. We look at the whole picture, from body condition and transition through to mating management, and target the areas with the biggest payback.
Do you do pregnancy scanning?
Yes, including early scanning and aged pregnancy testing so you know where your herd sits and can plan culling and drying off with confidence.
