Facilities for artificial insemination of beef cattle
Abstract
"One of the challenges producers cite in implementing an artificial insemination (AI) program is access to functional facilities. Facilities can make working cattle a breeze or a burden depending on design and use. Time, labor needed, exposure to the elements, and ease of cattle movement are all concerns when considering facilities for an AI program. Breeding large numbers of cattle can be a hardship if cattle do not move quickly and calmly through the system. With well-designed and properly used facilities, cattle will flow smoothly through a chute or breeding barn, reducing the overall time spent to inseminate a herd."--First page.
