Outdoor AI - Top Five Tips from BQP
Paul Arundel, BQP???s Breeding Farm Manager, highlights his top five AI tips for a successful outdoor service system. |
The most successful outdoor AI service systems are generally radial-based and have the following commonalities:
1. They operate using an efficient, low stress and above all simple system.
2. Their service centres are clean, tidy and light, and provide a comfortable working environment all year round.
3. They operate using a system based on the five "S" key principles.
- Segregation - Sows are kept away from boar presence and smell for around 12 hours pre-service.
- Stimulation - Sows are introduced to the boar at point of service.
- Serve - Sows are served individually, one inseminator to one sow in one service pen.
- Stimulation - Sows continue to be stimulated for 5-20 minutes post service, by allowing them nose-to-nose contact with other boars on the radial.
- Sleep - Sows return to their paddocks and rest.
5. They only inseminate sows during their period of true "standing heat."
