Reproductive performance and reducing involuntary culling 

Improving reproductive performance in dairy cattle is key to farm profitability and sustainability. Efficient reproduction ensures optimal calving intervals, leading to higher milk production per cow over her lifetime. By optimizing fertility, dairy farms achieve higher efficiency, economic gains, and long-term sustainability.

  • Better fertility reduces costs related to extended lactation, culling, and all reproduction related costs.
  • It also enhances genetic progress, improving overall herd productivity.

Methionine & reproduction cycle

Methionine  intervenes at several key stages of the reproduction cycle:

  • Follicle quality: more estradiol and better size
  • Better uterine environment: less polymorphonuclear neutrophils  (PMN)/inflammation, more  lipids/energy as nutrient for the embryo
  • Embryo composition: more lipid, bigger size
  • Pregnancy recognition: increase concentration of interferon tau (embryo size)

Selenium (Se) in dairy cattle fertility

Selenium (Se) plays a crucial role in dairy cattle fertility and reproduction , primarily through its antioxidant and immune-boosting properties.

  •  Improves Fertility & Conception Rates – Selenium supports oocyte (egg) quality, embryo development, and hormonal balance,  
  • Enhances Uterine Health & Reduces Retained Placenta – Selenium aids in uterine recovery post-calving, lowering the risk of retained placenta, metritis, and postpartum infections,
  • Boosts Immune Function & Reduces Oxidative Stress – As a key component of glutathione peroxidase, selenium neutralizes free radicals, protecting reproductive tissues from damage
