Fertility in Australian dairy herds has been declining over the last ten years. VikingGenetics has initiated the “Fertility First” project to help dairymen in Australia tackle this challenge. The answer is a tailor-made solution of health check-ups and recommendations for the insemination plan. Inspired by a strategy adopted by the breeding advisors in the Scandinavian countries, VikingGenetics approach has also proven to be a big success in Australia.

Fertility First service is a service to make pre-checks on heifers and cows to estimate their condition for insemination. Fertility First specialist will do a check-up on your cows and give you recommendations for the AI insemination. This way you ensure you inseminate your most fertile females and don't waste time with cows with low fertility issues.
