[QUOTE="simme, post: 1761992, member: 40418"] There are sorting technologies that separate the male and female sperm. One technology applies a fluorescent dye to the sperm. Female sperm and male sperm take on a different amount of fluorescence. Then the sperm goes through a sorting machine that separates the sperm into 3 containers based on amount of fluoresence - male, female, and dead/damaged/can't use. Sperm is "worked" and "damaged" some in this process. So, conception rates will be lower with sexed semen. Sexed semen cost more. Accuracy is about 90%, so female sexed semen should give about 90% heifers and 10% bulls. Male sexed semen - just the opposite. Some info: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.drovers.com/news/how-it-works-sex-sorted-semen[/URL] This website is from India but has some info.

They have 46 Jersey bulls. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stgen.com/default.aspx?language=english&title=home[/URL] [/QUOTE]
