- Sexed semen can be used on any female observed in estrus (heat) and following synchronization with any protocol on the Cow or Heifer Protocol Sheet.
- For best results with sexed semen perform AI 16 to 22 hr after detecting female in estrus. Use of estrus detection aids (EDA) is highly recommended.
- Time for Fixed-time AI (TAI) should be considered as the approximate average time of insemination based on the number of females to inseminate, labor, and facilities.
- To optimize pregnancy success, it is recommended to use sexed semen on females that have exhibited estrus before TAI and conventional semen on females that have not exhibited estrus
