ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION:
The programme of hormone injections, which brings ewes into heat, begins two weeks prior to A.I. they are then inseminated laparoscopically using fresh or frozen semen. SEMEN FREEZING:
Freezing the semen of a valuable stock ram is a successful method of preserving his genetics. Once t

he sample is obtained, the semen is then diluted, chilled and frozen in to either straws or pellets. SEMEN STORAGE:
Good quality semen can be stored for long periods of time; this involved keeping the straws or pellets of semen in tanks of liquid nitrogen at very low temperatures. EMBRYO TRANSFER:
Embryos are flushed from the uterus of a donor ewe and collected. They are then transplanted into a synchronised recipient ewe to establish a surrogate pregnancy. EMBRYO STORAGE:
If excess embryos are obtained during flushing these can then be frozen and kept for transfer at a later date.

🔥🔥IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 🔥🔥

As we enter our 12th season, we have decided to change the way we conduct our business.

We will no longer be providing an On-Farm service.

Instead we will provide our services from three primary locations;
Enniscrone, Co Sligo
Cashel, Co Tipperary
Lurgan, Co Armagh

We will have two secondary locations in Monaghan and Donegal with limited availability.

We believe that this change will result in a better quality service namely;

1. Higher possibility of securing preferred dates
2. Greater scope to provide a time efficient service
3. As more clients will be accommodated on same day, this will lead to more options in terms of ram and semen availability
4. Larger numbers of ewes can be AI’d and flushed on same day

All three locations have excellent facilities in terms of animal handling and housing.

While we acknowledge that this may inconvenience some clients, we are certain that on the whole it will enhance the quality of our service.

Looking forward to the season ahead!

Ronan and all the team at Prostar Genetics.

In the words of Michael McHugh of Greenhill Texels;

A major advantage of using Pro-Star genetics to have all the flock inseminated on the one day

👉🏼 A large proportion of the flock (70% +) lambs within a week. This enables lambing facilities and help to be organized resulting in reduced mortality.

Have you heard of SHEEP 2018?

Taking place in Athenry this Saturday on the Teagasc site in Galway.

You may recognise this venue from our post last month about Pro Star Genetics and the Teagasc Athenry flock.

Here's a little recap;

24/06/2018

In the words of Michael McHugh of Greenhill Texels;

"The major advantages of using Pro-Star genetics to have all the flock inseminated on the one day are:

(1) A large proportion of the flock (70% +) lambs within a week. This enables lambing facilities and help to be organized resulting in reduced mortality.

(2) A more even bunch of lambs due to the short lambing interval. This makes management and feeding easier.

(3) AI makes the use and sharing of high value, top quality rams amongst the 3 flocks. This wouldn’t be possible without AI."
