Breeding Improves Dairy Herd Through Freezing AI Semen
Semen from high quality bulls is collected and frozen in liquid nitrogen at minus 920 degrees, then thawed in ice water before use. The process lets dairymen access top genetics without live bulls, boosting production and cow quality. The North Louisiana Jersey Breeders Association offers a $5 lifetime membership with a $2 cow discount. The LSU and Louisiana Tech herds use AI extensively, with many local dairymen adopting the program to raise production and improve dairy cattle.
