Fertility Report CR by Time

Maintaining effective and efficient insemination procedures is crucial to achieving optimal fertility outcomes. Correctly timing insemination plays a crucial role in the successful outcomes of the insemination process.

The CR by Time report displays the number of valid inseminations* and conception rates per the time elapsed between the heat start time and the time of insemination. Use this information to evaluate the best time for higher conception rates**.

*Note: Valid insemination refers to an insemination followed up the following conditions:

  • An insemination event must have an insemination time other than 00:00.

  • An insemination must come after a system-detected heat event (cows inseminated without a system-detected heat do not have a heat start time).

  • The insemination event must be less than 48 hours after the heat start time

**Warning – the report is based on accurate reporting of the insemination time
