The use of sexed semen has increased rapidly and currently one third of doses sold in Denmark, Sweden, and Finland are gender sexed. UNIQUE QUALITY STANDARDS Our quality standards for X-Vik semen production were set because of one of the largest insemination trials in the world. Quality parameters were correlated to field fertility results obtained from nearly 200,000 inseminations. The results were published in 2011. A recent study from Aarhus University in Denmark and the University of Limerick in Ireland confirm that the standards used in the trial still reflect today’s best practices. High-quality X-Vik sexed semen is available for a wide selection of high genetic merit bulls for: Holstein, Red Dairy Cattle and Jersey. “ Our conception rates have been excellent with VikingJersey X-Vik semen. VikingGenetics has diverse options of bulls available in X-Vik for our Jersey herd. High Fat and Protein sires with great health traits. Jeff Bosma, USA 4,600 VikingJersey cows “ We were already confident in the fertility of the ProCROSS cattle, and at our first pregnancy control session after using sexed semen we had a 70% conception rate to first service in heifers, and 45% in the cows. Will Nixon, United Kingdom 350 ProCROSS cows “ We are using sexed semen, because we think it is a better way to create faster genetic progress in the herd. In this way we can improve our herd and secure the best results in the future.You can choose your best cows to inseminate with sexed semen and have the best outcome from them. You can make a healthy profit using sexed semen. Christer Ljungqvist, Sweden 140 VikingRed cows 9 INNOVATIVE BREEDING
