SEMEX ANNOUNCES IMMUNITY+™ MEETINGS DATES

Since its launch in December 2012, dairymen worldwide have been drawn to Semex’s patented Immunity+™ sires. These sires have a naturally high immune response and by using these sires, herds can improve their overall health and longevity, breed a herd with both less disease and a greater response to vaccines with higher quality colostrum.

Through a series of producer meetings, industry-leading experts in genetics and immunity, including Semex New Zealand’s Market Development Manager, David Mayo, and Semex’s Global Dairy Solutions Manager, Jay Shannon from Canada, New Zealand dairymen can find out more about applying this technology to their own herds.

“Every dairyman wants to get everything in one complete package,” says Jay Shannon, Semex Global Dairy Solutions Manager. “In the genetics and reproduction business, this is a tall order to fill, but Semex’s Immunity+ lineup is about as close as it gets to truly doing that. We continually analyze the herd data of Immunity+ sires’ daughters to confirm the impact that one generation of Immunity+ bulls can have on a dairy and, by using Immunity+ in your breeding program, each successive generation can accumulate further disease resistance.”

“And with a 25% heritability, dairymen are excited about where this technology can take them and their herds!”
