6 EFFICIENCY HERD MANAGEMENT 6 THE BASIS OF HERD MANAGEMENT Breeding lays the basis for herd performance. By making the right breeding decisions and using the best bulls to breed the next generation of animals, dairy farmers create the ideal herd to work with on their farm. Breeding is an essential part of optimal herd management. CRV Ambreed supports farmers with a wide choice of bulls and breeding solutions. What is the added value delivered by CRV Ambreed with genetic herd management? Efficient & Easy-to-manage herds that farmers love to milk. The products and services offered by CRV, and not least the genetics, have been driving an efficient and easy- to-manage herd for many years now. The fi ve themes of our Herd Navigator Wheel are interrelated and vital in achieving the goal of an efficient and easy-to-manage herd. How does that work? Efficiency everything needs to come together. For efficient production a herd must have suffi ciently high production partnered with efficient feed conversion and high longevity. This effi ciency is only optimal if the herd has good fertility and excellent health. Five themes that also have a strong mutual infl uence, hence they are shown in a circle, as linked elements. Easy management we all win The cows in an easy-to-manage herd are above all healthy and fertile. This reduces the costs relating to fertility and veterinary care and importantly, lightens the workload. An added benefi t is that the high health and fertility status of the animals increases their chances of becoming older and therefore producing efficiently. Here too the relevance of the fi ve interrelated themes is proven. And it is a win-win-situation, as animal welfare is also enhanced by good health and high longevity.

7 BETTER LIFE HEALTH The Better Life Health (BLH) index, expressed as a percentage, indicates the bull s progeny will have a lower rate of health incidents like mastitis, lameness, difficult births or reproductive problems. The traits that are factored into this index for New Zealand include fertility, calving difficulty, somatic cell count, residual survival, condition score and a number of TOP values. Overall opinion, body condition score, longevity, capacity and udder overall, indirectly support an animal s health and ease of management in the herd. CRV is the only breeding company with a tool to help make it easier to improve the health and efficiency of your herd. We do this by using the Better Life Health and Better Life Efficiency indexes.

You can easily see the expected efficiency value of an individual sire. A higher percentage means the sire s progeny are more efficient at converting feed to milk over the course of their productive life. The traits included in the BLE index for New Zealand are kilos of milk, fat, protein, liveweight, longevity, and fertility.

8 GENETIC SOLUTIONS 8 INTRODUCES A NEW DIRECTION IN BREEDING Lower Nitrogen - Brighter Future CRV Ambreed is excited to announce a major genetic breakthrough that will potentially provide a solution for more sustainable dairy farming in New Zealand. Agriculture s impact on the environment is a major topic world-wide. In New Zealand degradation of waterways is the main concern. Much of the contamination of waterways is caused by Nitrogen leached from urine patches of cows. Reduction of Nitrogen excreted in urine is desirable to reduce this leaching. CRV Ambreed has several research and development programmes aimed at improving farming sustainability using genetics. Breeding to reduce Nitrogen excreted in urine is one of those programmes. The Eureka Moment The breakthrough occurred when CRV Ambreed researchers investigated the potential of reducing Milk Urea concentration through traditional genetic selection. Research over the last fi ve years has established that indeed it is possible to reduce Milk Urea concentration through genetics. Milk Urea Nitrogen is the Nitrogen component of Milk Urea, with Nitrogen making up 46% of Milk Urea. Therefore by reducing Milk Urea concentration we also reduce Milk Urea Nitrogen concentration. International research has shown there is a direct relationship between Milk Urea Nitrogen concentration and the amount of Nitrogen excreted in urine. We expect that if we reduce Milk Urea Nitrogen concentration through breeding, we will reduce the amount of Nitrogen excreted in cow urine. LowN Sires are potentially a powerful aid assisting farmers to reduce their environmental footprint. Dawn of an exciting new era In 2017 we are excited to release our fi rst team of bulls to reduce Milk Urea Nitrogen through genetics, the LowN Sires team. The daughters of these sires will have a lower Milk Urea Nitrogen concentration in their milk compared to the daughters of the average bull. In turn, these daughters are expected to excrete less Nitrogen in their urine and consequently less Nitrogen will be leached into groundwater. LowN Sires are potentially a powerful aid assisting farmers to reduce their environmental footprint. Research conducted over the past fi ve seasons involved measuring Milk Urea Nitrogen concentration in hundreds of thousands of milk samples from individual cows through the CRV Ambreed herd testing service. These Milk Urea Nitrogen concentration (MUN) values were then analysed by AgResearch and CRV geneticists to calculate MUN Breeding Values for the sires of the cows. Bulls with negative breeding values for MUN are expected to reduce MUN in their daughters and this is a favourable outcome. On the other hand, bulls with positive MUN breeding values are expected to breed daughters with increased MUN. The LowN Sires team have lower breeding value for MUN compared to the average bull. Therefore, their daughters will have lower MUN.

9 Reduce Milk Urea Nitrogen Reduce Nitrogen excreted in Urine Reduce Nitrogen leached THE PATHWAY Breeding with LowN Sires will reduce Milk Urea Nitrogen concentration in their progeny. International work shows that if Milk Urea Nitrogen is reduced, then the amount of Nitrogen excreted in Urine is reduced. If the amount of Nitrogen excreted in urine is reduced, then the amount of Nitrogen leached into groundwater and waterways is reduced. THE POTENTIAL Progeny of the LowN Sires will be lower for Milk Urea Nitrogen compared to progeny of the average bull. Using the relationships between Milk Urea Nitrogen and Nitrogen excreted in Urine found by international researchers, we expect, on average, that these low Milk Urea Nitrogen cows will excrete 3.2kg less Nitrogen per cow per year (ie a reduction in Urinary Nitrogen of 3.2kg per cow per year). Modelling predicts that for average farm systems on silt loam soils, cows excreting 3.2kg less Nitrogen, will result in an 8-10% reduction in Nitrogen leached. This is your opportunity to get ahead Farmers are urged to seriously consider using LowN Sires now in order to begin reducing Milk Urea Nitrogen through genetics. These genetic gains will be in addition to gains made through changes in farm management. An extensive research program to further investigate the implications of breeding for low Milk Urea Nitrogen involving industry research groups is planned. When outcomes of this research are known, it is likely Milk Urea Nitrogen will be included in farm models such as Overseer. On our part, CRV Ambreed will continue breeding LowN Sires for the future: our predictions are that over 20 years it is possible to reduce Nitrogen leached from dairy by 20-25% through genetic selection. Are there any trade-offs when selecting LowN Sires? One of the very encouraging fi ndings of the CRV Ambreed research has been that the LowN Sires are generally very good for other important traits: so it appears we are not losing out on traits like longevity and milksolids. The daughters of LowN Sires will milk as well and live as long as your ideal cow. Understanding your herds MUN status Farmers who herd test and record with CRV Ambreed will receive Milk Urea Nitrogen breeding values for their cows as a new piece of information. These farmers will then be able to identify those cows with high Milk Urea Nitrogen s and decide whether they wish to either cull the cow or not retain its progeny.

13 FACIAL ECZEMA Genetic tolerance offers the best protection against Facial Eczema (FE). Using CRV Ambreed s FE tolerant sires in your breeding programme is an environmentally friendly and safe way to help increase your herd s tolerance to FE challenges, resulting in healthier cows and improved production. FE costs the New Zealand dairy industry over $100 million a year in lost production, treatment costs and animal loss*, and the problem in New Zealand is worsening. AgResearch scientists have shown that the average New Zealand cow today is more susceptible to FE than her counterpart was 25 years ago. BENEFITS Greater tolerance against facial eczema Healthier cows Improved production FE * Sourced from (Feb 2015) POLLED CRV Ambreed now offers a team of local and overseas homozygous polled bulls. Homozygous (PP) polled bulls guarantee the birth of polled calves, meaning the progeny of the polled bulls will not need disbudding. This saves time and expense and improves animal welfare. Polled genetics explained: When the bull has two copies of the polled gene (ie homozygous), you are guaranteed the bull s progeny will all be polled as all get one copy of the poll gene. Conversely, bulls with only one copy of the polled gene are referred to as heterozygous (P) and their progeny only has a 50% chance of being polled. Phil Beatson, CRV R&D Manager BENEFITS Saves time and expense of disbudding Improved animal welfare Less stress on calf PP 13 GENETIC SOLUTIONS

14 GENETIC SOLUTIONS 14 SIRYX SEXED SEMEN With SiryX sexed semen you can increase the number of heifers generated through your yearly mating programme. SiryX sexed semen goes through a sorting process where more than 90% of the sperm cells in the straw carry the female X chromosome and only less than 10% of the sperm carry the male Y chromosome*. This ratio carries through to produce on average 90% heifers from the doses of sexed semen used on the farm. Conception rates with SiryX are around 10-15% lower than non-sexed semen. Using the correct semen handling and the right selection of animals on heat will help you get the best possible results using the SiryX sexed semen product. BENEFITS More heifers Greater value replacements Easier calving * As outlined in the quality control threshold as provided by Sexing Technologies in their sorting labs. SHORT GESTATION CRV Ambreed offers short gestation dairy and beef to create greater value offspring and to give your cows more days in milk. BEEF Breed beef-cross calves that you can sell to the beef market. The gestation length of beef breeds are on average four to fi ve days longer than dairy sires. However Short Gestation Hereford and Angus bring the calving date in line with dairy sires. DAIRY Short Gestation Dairy is a good option if you need more replacements from your tail-end cows. Short Gestation Dairy is available in Holstein Friesian, Jersey and Crossbred. Refer to Trait Leaders section. For available bulls contact your local sales rep. BENEFITS More days in milk Tighter calving spread Replacements or saleable offspring SG

15 FERTABULL SHORT GESTATION HEREFORD CRV Ambreed s FertaBull helps you maximise fertility at the tail-end of mating resulting in more cows back in-calf. FertaBull straws contain semen of three beef sires in each dose. This increases the length of time the semen is viable, giving you a greater chance of getting your cow in-calf. The three Hereford bulls are carefully selected together with our partners BLUESTONE HEREFORDS. They are Short Gestation, Calving Ease and all have good growth s.

16 16 GENETIC SOLUTIONS A2 The demand for A2 milk is growing with investor enthusiasm for businesses in the infant formula and natural health products sectors. CRV Ambreed offers a range of A2 sires specifi cally for farmers who wish to enter this speciality market. We can also test your current herd for A2 status. A2 milk contains only the A2 type of beta-casein protein rather than the more common A1 protein commonly found in regular cows milk. It usually takes two cow generations through tailored A2 genetics (about 10 years) to convert a New Zealand herd to A2. Look for sires that have A2/A2 beneath their name when choosing from this catalogue. BENEFITS A herd producing only A2 milk Access to a niche market Convert your herd in two generations CRV ONCE-A-DAY The demands placed on a cow in a Once-A -Day (OAD) milking system varies to that of a Twice-A-Day system. The CRV OAD index ranks sires on their suitability for use in a OAD system to support those demands. Our OAD-index uses the same traits as the Breeding Worth (BW) but the weightings are different to refl ect the different emphasis of the OAD system. Based on feedback from the OAD community we added four functional traits important for longevity in a OAD herd; Front teat placement Udder Support Milking Speed Capacity The OAD index should be used in combination with the s for the individual traits to select the team of bulls that best fi ts the needs for your OAD herd. Refer to Trait Leaders to see the top OAD sires by breed. The higher the index, the more suitable they are. BENEFITS Higher solids production Improved longevity More fl exibility OAD

17 MORE VALUE FROM YOUR MILKING ROBOT CRV s Automatic Milking System (AMS) breeding values will help you milk more cows on one robot. The AMS breeding values measure the success of a bull s daughters in automatic milking systems and are based on real-time data from milking robots in the Netherlands (One quarter of Dutch cow population is milked via automatic systems). AMS Efficiency Milk more cows with the same robot. Breed for more milk per minute of robot time. Milking Interval Breed cows that achieve successful robot milkings, more often. A higher value is a shorter interval between successful milkings.

18 18 UNDERSTANDING NEW ZEALAND GRAPHS UNDERSTANDING NEW ZEALAND GRAPHS BREEDING VALUES New Zealand Animal Evaluation Limited (NZAEL) calculates Breeding Values () and Breeding Worth (BW) using information from the sire's relatives (ancestry & progeny) and the sire's own records by comparing it to that of the Genetic Base Cow. The genetic base cow is the average of a group of well recorded New Zealand cows (across all breeds) and is updated every fi ve years to refl ect genetic progress. Breeding values are deviations above or below (-) the same genetic base cow (regardless of breed).

BREEDING INDICATORS NZMI LOW HIGH This is the CRV Ambreed desired gains index. It aims to breed a productive, long-lasting cow that will typically produce about 450 kg MS a year by balancing production, management and type traits. BW LOW HIGH Economic index that ranks bulls and cows on their expected ability to breed profi table and efficient replacements. TOTAL LONGEVITY LOW HIGH The total longevity breeding value is defi ned as the expected genetic merit of a cow to live for more (or fewer) days of herd life relative to the genetic base cows. PRODUCTION MILK (LTS) LOW HIGH This trait measures the expected volume of milk produced by the individual and is of interest due to transport costs associated with moving milk from farms to processing plants around the country. This is why milk is valued negatively in both NZMI & BW. LIVEWEIGHT LOW HIGH The estimated liveweight of the animal. This is usually one score lower than stature, and will likewise vary considerably between breeds. % HEALTH LOW HIGH The CRV Ambreed index known as Better Life Health helps you select animals that will have more or less incidences of health problems throughout their lifetime. % EFFICIENCY LOW HIGH The CRV Ambreed index known as Better Life Efficiency helps you easily see the expected efficiency value of an individual sire. PROTEIN (KG) LOW HIGH Milk protein is a component of the milk produced by cows and is the most valued output (by processors) from NZ dairy farms. It is also the single most important trait for both NZMI & BW. FAT LOW HIGH Milk fat is the other component of milk which is paid for by milk processors in NZ and is used in producing lower value commodities such as butter.

19 MANAGEMENT & HEALTH FERTILITY LOW The objective for herd reproductive performance in most New Zealand herds is to achieve high pregnancy rates in a short time period following the planned start of mating, and to maintain calving intervals very close to 365 days. BODY CONDITION SCORE (BCS) SHARP SHED TRAITS ADAPTABILITY TO MILKING SLOWLY A description of how soon the animal settled into the milking routine after calving specifi cally taking into account how many milkings before let down was spontaneous and completed without extra attention. SHED TEMPERAMENT GRUMPY HIGH Body condition score is commonly used as a method to assess body energy reserves. SOMATIC CELLS SCORE (SCS) DESIRABLE COVERED UNDESIRABLE Good udder health is typically refl ected in low levels of somatic cell counts in milk. QUICKLY LOVELY Measures the temperament of the animal in the shed while being handled and milked. It is a different trait to adaptability to milking as it is assessed once an animal has settled into the milking routine. CALVING DIFFICULTY EASY Although the calving difficulty is expressed in terms of assisted births in first-calving heifers, the can also be used to identify bulls that are expected to increase rates of assisted calving for cows carrying the bull s calves. GESTATION LENGTH SHORTER MILKING SPEED SLOW The length of time from putting on the cups to when the milk fl ow stops or cups are taken off. Those cows that have nice silky udders (in contrast to meaty, lumpy udders) tend to be quicker milkers. OVERALL OPINION POOR DIFFICULT The number of days shorter or longer than the average gestation period of a dairy cow. Use this strategically to tighten your calving pattern. RESIDUAL SURVIVAL LESS LONGER MORE Residual survival is defi ned as herd-life after accounting for the genetic effects of production, liveweight, milk, somatic cells and fertility on herd-life. FAST WELL-LIKED A farmer s overall acceptance of the animal as a herd member. CONFORMATION STATURE SHORT TALL The height at the shoulder of the animal. This trait is measured across all breeds, resulting in all Jerseys being negative on the breeding values bar graph, Ayrshires being intermediate and Friesians being mainly positive. CAPACITY FRAIL CAPACIOUS Combination of strength and depth of chest and body as viewed from side, rear and front in relation to the physical size of the cow. This is an important trait and refl ects an animals ability to convert feed into milk and withstand the rigours of life. RUMP ANGLE HIGH SLOPING Describes the angle between the centre of the hip and the top of the pin bone. A low score indicates the cow has high pins and a high score indicates low pins. A score of 5-6 describes a fl at rump to slightly sloping which is optimal. FRONT UDDER LOOSE STRONG Measures the strength of attachment of the fore udder to the body wall. REAR UDDER LOOSE STRONG Describes the height and width of the rear udder attachment as distinct from udder support. FRONT TEAT WIDE CLOSE The placement of the front teats (at the point of attachment to the udder) relative to the centre of the quarters. A low score indicates wide front teats whilst a high score indicates close front teats. RUMP WIDTH NARROW WIDE Distance between the most posterior point of the pin bones relative to the size of the animal. This trait is a good predictor of the width a cow has throughout her body. LEGS STRAIGHT CURVED Measures the angulation or set of the rear legs and is measured from an imaginary line between thurls and mid-hoof while the cow is walking. A low score indicates a straight leg, whilst a high score indicates a sickled or curved leg set. A score close to 5-6 is considered ideal. UDDER SUPPORT WEAK STRONG This trait describes the strength of the suspensory ligament as viewed from the rear. It also includes the udder depth relative to the hocks. Udder support is a very important trait in determining the number of lactations a cow s udder will survive. REAR TEAT WIDE The placement of the rear teats (at the point of attachment to the udder) relative to the centre of the quarters. A low score indicates wide rear teats whilst a high score is close and 5 is central. UDDER OVERALL UNDESIRABLE DESIRABLE The inspector gives an overall score of the udder including any other udder traits not measured before. Udder overall score can be used to simply compare the overall udder standard of bull daughters. DAIRY CONFORMATION UNDESIRABLE CLOSE DESIRABLE An overall conformation score combining all traits except udder traits. Dairy conformation is a useful trait for simply comparing animals for dairy type. 19 UNDERSTANDING NEW ZEALAND GRAPHS

88 SERVICES 88 PRODUCTS & SERVICES HERD TESTING SERVICE HERD TEST OPTIONS: FULL HERD TEST A full herd test is carried out during afternoon and morning milkings within a 24-hour period. All cows in-milk must be tested and must be fully identifi ed and recorded. CONTEMPORARY GROUP TEST This allows you to herd test all lactating animals within a contemporary group, for example a group of cows of similar age and season of calving that are managed in the same herd. ONCE-A-DAY This option is for herds that are being milked once in a 24-hour period. D & JOHNES TEST As part of our herd testing service we can now test both bulk and individual samples for D and Johnes individual samples. TEST DAY MODEL This is a single-sample option for a herd milking twice-a-day. The herd is tested at either the morning or afternoon milking and the sample is then calculated into a 24-hour test result. SOMATIC CELL COUNT (SCC) TEST A SCC test can be performed over the whole herd or selected cows at either morning or afternoon milkings. No volumes are recorded. Results will be received within 48 hours of the samples being tested. 16-HOUR MILKING This option is for herds milking three times in a 48- hour period. A single sample is taken and a standard formula is then applied to convert the 16-hour milking into a 24-hour result.

90 PRODUCTS PRODUCTS & SERVICES HEAT DETECTION 90 CRV ESTROTECT HEAT DETECTORS Accurate heat detection is critical to the success of artifi cial insemination (AI). CRV Estrotect Heat Detectors provide the most accurate way to detect a cow on heat. They are a business card sized patch that sticks onto the cow s rump. With each mount, the surface will gradually turn from silver to a bright colour alerting the farmer she is ready for AI. Use CRV Estrotect Heat Detectors to help teach farm staff to identify when a cow is on heat. EASY TO USE AND ACCURATE! Only one patch per cycle is required compared with alternative tail paints and paint sticks, which must be applied or touched up daily. While other detectors are activated by one mount (sometimes for as little as three seconds) CRV Estrotect Heat Detectors work gradually exposing the indicator colour. To purchase CRV Estrotect Heat Detectors and accessories refer to page 98 for a full list of products and pricing. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. WARM Heat activates the adhesive. When ready for application, heat at or above body temperature (37ºC). 2. SITE Ideal location for placement is between hip and tail head, perpendicular to the spine. 3. BRUSH Brush with the grain of the hair to remove dirt, dust and shedding or moulting hair. It s recommended to only use the ESTROTECT TM Rubber Brush. 4. CLEAN Clean the area with an ESTROTECT TM Cleaning Cloth to completely remove any remaining dirt, dust or sand. 5. APPLY Place detector across spine of cow, press down fi rmly and rub into hair with bare fi ngers.

91 Take the guesswork out of heat detection FlashMate Electronic Heat Detector A disposable electronic heat alert product that when applied, monitors riding activity and works out when a cow is in standing heat. How the system works Based on hundreds of hours of research, the smarts inside FlashMate are looking for specific patterns of riding activity such as frequency, number and length. Heat Pattern Detected - FLASHES RED FlashMate flashes red for 26 hours once the right heat activity pattern is detected to indicate the cow is ready for artificial insemination No Subsequent Heat Pattern - FLASHES GREEN Once AI d if the same cow does not come back into heat within 25 days, FlashMate will flash green to indicate possible conception. Subsequent Heat Pattern - FLASHES RED If the same cow returns to heat again FlashMate will again flash red. To see FlashMate in action visit am.gallagher.com To and see search FlashMate Heat Detection in action visit am.gallagher.com and search Heat Detection Key benefits Accurate monitoring of standing heat is a critical factor for achieving 6 week in calf targets. Other key benefits of FlashMate Electronic Heat Detectors include: Easy application the units are extremely easy to apply and maintain Detects multiple heats will flash red again for the next detected heat cycle if AI has failed. Improved accuracy - smarter detection, looking for patterns (length, time, frequency) rather than what could be a single event. Operates 24/7 and looks for spikes in contact activity, a large percentage of mounting activity happens at night. Low experience required - Needs significantly less understanding and skill in correctly identifying heats, yet achieves what the best human operators are capable of anyone can do it allowing time off during the mating season for experienced personnel. Compatible with tail paint - due to the unit s location, Flashmate does not interfere with tail paint application. Refer to Pricing section for product pricing to place your orders.
