The whole year we can organize training AI or pregnancy control on location or in English speaking groups on dutch (dairy) farms. Autumn, winter and early spring are ideal to follow a course for the most farmers. The training AI and pregnancy control are built up very practice. Greatest part of the training happend behind the cows, additionally part is the theory and is focused on practical situations. Besides AI-technique, a clear view is given on fertility, semen quality and uterine recovery. Through digital pictures and video clips all facets of these subjects will be displayed very detailed on screen and are discussed thoroughly.
AI is a sensitive job which must be done with care, as is defrosting and handling a straw. In the end, the purpose of an insemination is a pregnancy.
After the theoretical part plenty of time is taken to practice on special frames on which uterine corpses from the slaughterhouse are exposed. In the same situation and attitude we learn best the basics of comfortable and capable AI. Practice on uterine corpses is crucial for good basic knowledge and feeling.
Through years of experience and devotion, HB-KI built a practical view on good training. Not only on a technical but also on a mental basis.
To learn AI is at first not easy, but at the point of breakthrough, almost everyone gets the job done. Enthusiastic guiding and stimulation can be desicive at this point.
In the past pregnancy control (PRC) was a task only for veterinarians in Holland. Later AI companies also offered this service. The basic of good PRC (and AI) is a good image of the total uterine corps.
It appeares that, for an interested AI’er with a certain amount of experience, the step to PRC is not as big as it seems. However, to conclude the status within a couple of weeks is a bit too fast. Working responsible and safe is more important. And a good training and basic knowledge is even more valuable here than with AI-training.
Weekly control at fifty to sixty days gives a good and reliable impression of your results.
The training method appears to be safe for the embryo. Experience in tracking through the rectum however is an important basic term.
PRC-training also result in a more self-confident and better skilled AI-technique. Diseases and failures after calving are discovered faster and heat is better indicated. To take a real interest in the subject and the time to build experience are very important for the final result of this upgrade.
Often it appears that problems or mistakes get into AI-work which can cost at lot of money. Frequently HB-KI will solve these problems. When there are doubts or simply bad results, don’t wait too long to call for assistance. Problems are often related to the basics. Even a short telephone call or e-mail can solve your problem and prevent stress and loss of income. HB K.I.-Techniek will be happy to help any AI-er. Farmers or professional technicians.
