Fertility Without Compromise - January 2010

Select Sires' mission is to enhance the productivity and profitability of dairy producers. Perhaps there is no greater aspect of fulfilling that mission than to be the premier provider of highly fertile semen. After all, Select's reproductive specialists often point out that no genetic advancement can occur without first creating a pregnancy. Select Sires is doing everything it can to provide the most fertile semen possible. That includes investing in research, personnel and new technology.

Sire Conception Rate (SCR), developed by the USDA AIPL, shows sire fertility results based on confirmed pregnancies, SCR data comes from herds representing the majority of the United States. Evaluations are expressed as deviations from the overall average. The average bull has an SCR of 0.0 with other bulls ranging both above and below that standard. For example, a bull with an SCR of +4.6 can expect to have a 4.6 percent higher conception rate than the average bull. A bull with a -4.6 SCR would have an estimated 4.6 percent lower conception rate than a bull that is 0.
