DSD 6.6 | How much variability is allowable?
Timing of insemination is still one of the most common question Dr. Paul Fricke, Extension faculty for the University of Wisconsin, gets from farmers. This month he and coauthors Vanda Santos and Paulo Carvalho discuss the ideal timing of insemination when using popular artificial insemination protocols and when producers use estrus detection devices.
Additionally, how does this change if you choose to use sexed semen or a straw of beef?
