Insemination strategy - inseminate with the right straw

As a dairy farmer, you make daily decisions that have an impact on the final farm result. Making the right choices is therefore hugely important. Six dairy farmers took the initiative to help the sector move forward by offering practical tailor-made tools for the dairy sector. The development was done together with Boerenbond and ILVO through an Operational Group and with support from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. This tool aims to support the dairy farmer in making his insemination strategy. It shows in a simple way what the financial additional yield can be if a dairy farmer uses sexed semen and utility crosses. Through this tool, the optimal situation for his farm can also be simulated.
