Use of sexed semen to increase the number of heifer calves
Sexed semen is an innovative technology that allows the predetermination of calf sex with about 90% reliability. However, uptake has been hindered by lower conception rates, higher costs and limited availability of both semen and sires. Greater utilisation of sexed semen can help improve the efficacy of both dairy and beef production, increase farm profitability, and help improve the environmental sustainability of cattle production.
