What’s ai24 worth to a 100 cow herd? You’ll save money with our loyalty bonus. Using 1.8 straws per pregnancy and bringing in 25% replacements would use 220 straws of semen. With an average semen price of £20 Semex loyalty bonus would be worth an extra £176 or £528 over the three year ai24 agreement. You’ll save money because our genetics work harder for you. Our state of the art mating programme is the most sophisticated available worldwide. It takes corrective mating, production, in-breeding and auxiliary traits into consideration. This helps you to breed cows that are more productive, easier to manage and focussed on your herd’s problem areas. Our fully trained cattle evaluators normally charge £3 per cow to score each herd; for ai24 customers this service is free of charge. Scoring the 100 cows once and 25 heifers per year would cost £450 over the 3 year term. This is free to ai24 customers. You’ll save money by simply using your financial skills. Using ai24 also qualifies you to 3 years’ interest free repayment. For a 100 cow herd using one reader, one control box, 30 collars plus fitting would cost £4575 ex VAT. Adding VAT, this would consist of a £1754 deposit then the balance of £3507 over three years interest free. If we used 5% as a borrowing rate on this balance this finance would save you around £360 in interest alone leaving your cash to be invested elsewhere. Let’s do the sums on a three year plan.
If you increase your submission rates from 50% to 80%, which is highly achievable, you will also save up to £18,000 per 100 cows per year, according to leading UK vet Dick Sibley. MDC figures show that a reduction in calving interval for the 100 cow herd from 400 days to 380 days would save you £4480. MDC figures also show that reducing your serves per conception for the 100 cow herd from 2.1 to 1.7 would save you an extra £1000. CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO USE ai24?
