Artificial insemination (AI) is widely used in both beef and dairy cattle to improve herd genetics, increase conception rates, and streamline breeding programs. At Nowra Veterinary Hospital, we offer reliable AI services, including Fixed Time Artificial Insemination (FTAI) programs designed to maximise your results.
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION IN CATTLE
Helping you plan for more productive, efficient breeding seasons.
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (AI) SERVICES
We offer on-farm artificial insemination with consistently good conception rates. For best results, we recommend starting with a synchronisation program, which helps identify and align ideal mating windows.
- Tailored programs for dairy and beef herds
- On-farm service with experienced large animal vets
- Proven conception rates with structured programs
- Ongoing support and monitoring through your AI cycle
Contact the clinic to discuss timing, requirements, and herd goals.
FIXED TIME ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (FTAI)
FTAI is a synchronisation method that aligns the oestrous cycles of a group of females. This allows for mass insemination on a set day, saving time and increasing breeding efficiency.
It involves administering specific hormones (those naturally produced during the oestrous cycle) via a schedule of injections and internal implants, resulting in predictable standing oestrus.
Benefits of FTAI for Your Herd:
- Access to proven genetics without purchasing expensive bulls
- Improved calving predictability and tighter calving windows
- Greater genetic consistency and calf uniformity at weaning
- Efficient use of facilities, labour, and time
- Opportunity to synchronise with your existing breeding program
- Stronger selection for fertility and herd longevity
- Improved handling and temperament of heifers through yard work
- Healthier, more developed heifers due to greater pre-joining focus
Whether you’re looking to lift conception rates, improve herd fertility, or enhance calf quality, AI and FTAI are powerful tools with long-term benefits.
