[QUOTE="polledbull, post: 65505, member: 574"] There were three things in my AI class we all learned to have a sucessful AI breeding. 1 good semen. 2 put at the right spot .3 at the right time . If any of these factors are comprimised , you will not get a pregnancy.I would think that if none settled to the AI service that it could be the semen . Your timing could have been off, (Heat Detection ) Late breeding is better than early. Semen Handling comes to mind. ( temperature shock ) The AI tech has to absoulutly now that he has passed the gun through the cervix and be confident that he is putting the semen in the uterine body . if he is not , he may as well sguirt it on her head. There are alot of variables to cause a cow not to settle to AI. To start with only expect to get around 65%- 80% to settle in the first place with the first service . I would evaluate my entire AI program . ask your semen rep. to go over the entire process . Call ABS or Select Sires , Genex and get a AI manual and read it . Also remember not all cows will settle to an AI service anyway. You could be dealing with hard breeders . I hope this information will help you . [/QUOTE]
