  • Press Release: Popular CRV bulls live up to expectations

    The index run of April 2023 underlines the reliability and extensive potential of CRV's Fleckvieh breeding program. Daughters of bulls that were already popular as InSire bulls, such as Majo, Westwind and Wüstensohn, are exceeding expectations. These bulls are proving themselves as all-round sires at the highest level. This is helping increase confidence in the new, young genomic bulls that are reinforcing CRV's Fleckvieh range across the board.
  • Thousands of Euros additional yield per cow with longer lifespan

    The average Dutch dairy cow will have almost four lactations, which means that a significant percentage of her production potential is unused. If the lifespan can be extended by two years, that would mean an additional lifetime yield of 1,800 to 3,000 Euros per cow.

Fertility problems can also arise after calving that affect the cow’s next pregnancy. Fortunately, many of these problems are preventable. Judith Roelofs from HAS Green Academy explains how to recognise, treat and prevent these problems.
