This instant popularity, backed by comments received from over 400 dairy farmer interviews by Bullsemen.coms breeding advisors, is a clear indication that this innovative approach to semen sexing is delivering an effective herd replacement solution, says the company. G75 sexed semen stems from a new manufacturing process that enables more product to survive with little damage, therefore allowing better quality bulls to be sexed at significantly less cost to the farmer than conventional sexed semen, says Bullsemen.com managing director Nick Kirby. This allows us to market a bull of the calibre of Holman for 19/straw as sexed semen, compared with 38 in the conventional G90 sexed semen format. From the feedback we are receiving, a 75% heifer return rate is adequate for most dairy farmers replacement requirements. The G75 sexed semen is therefore a very cost effective way to guarantee heifers without compromising on genetic quality.
