Through AI, experts say we can assure good quality cattle meat and milk because only semen from bulls with high-end breeds will be injected to the cows and because all the semen undergoes a screening procedure, the cows are protected from illnesses. “Today, we can determine the current performance of a cattle farm in terms of products’ traits. We measure their traits, like the average daily gained weight, birth weight and matured weight so we can say the farm’s current performance and what kind of semen is needed to infuse to their cows to improve the products and be at par with international standards,” Crescencio explained. Cattle raisers can also ensure that their cows will acquire semen although the bulls are in faraway places. Economically, it can also help cattle raisers because they don’t need to buy a bull just to have continuity of the whole breeding process. The AI method is faster and more practical than the traditional method in a sense that you can observe its effect immed
