What was the challenge/problem addressed?
The innovation of the project lies in identifying, assessing and providing answers to key questions to increase the performance, efficiency and profitability of livestock farms.
to increase the performance, efficiency and profitability of livestock farms.
The project will achieve a significant improvement and control of animal fertility at farm level.
How did you solve the problem?
An ANI (regional beef breed) Heifer Breeding Programme has been developed and genetic tools have been created to enable ANI breeders to select animals by fertility parameters.
ANI breeders to select animals by fertility parameters.
What is innovative in your practical case?
New production tool for ANI cattle that can be extrapolated to other extensive farms
What are the success factors in solving the problem?
improve the productive life of ANI suckler cows in order to reduce the replacement rate of herds and increase the number of calvings during their productive life.
and increase the number of calvings during the productive life of the herd.
Lessons learned
monitoring farms is very important, the collection of data to analyse how the farm is doing is fundamental.
is fundamental, technology has to be applied to extensive farming: artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence
What role does the advisor or advisory service play with the practical case?
the advisor is the one who brings all the actors together and involves them in the project, organising the project and being involved in all activities. he/she brings knowledge and experience
Can your approach be transferred and/or adapted for other innovation challenges and regions?
Yes
Estimated transferability on a scale from 1 to 5
(where 1 is easy and 5 very difficult)
