Preparing for Embroy Transplant - CIDR Insert

Here is a quick video we shot 10 days ago while inserting CIDR for synchronising and inducing oestrus in production animals. The CIDR insert was performed by an expierenced veteranarian.

The CIDR insert uses only naturally occurring progesterone. These unique treatment programs take control of the oestrous cycle by mimicking normal physiological events.

Here are some of the approved uses for CIDR.

• Oestrus synchronisation during the breeding season.
• Ovulation control in ewes/does for artificial insemination, (AI), embryo collection and transfer programmes.
• Advancing the breeding season in sheep.

We use the CIDR product annually to help control the heat cycle and ensure successful embryo implantation.

 

Hoof Trimming

This is hoof trimming season at Karras Farms.

We try to pick a damp and rainy day to trim hooves.
Trimming the hoof is much easier when they are soft
and eases the animals stress during the trimming process.

It is very important to perform a thorough cleaning of the hooves.
A good clean hoof promotes a strong and firm stance for a successful pregnancy.
