Breed in" of this type is now mostly carriH
od on by cooperatives and private business
es organized for that purpose. The farmers
membership'in an association, costs from
$1,-.$or$KVw,'lr/hich is paid only onco, and
he generally is assessed $1 per cow'to
raise funds for bull purchases. The hired
inseminator usually gets $3 of the $5'or
$6 that is paid per‘cow for servicing.
Additional services, if required, arc at
the rate of $1 or $2 a call.
Breeding organizations typically have 18
or more bulls. The dairy breeds custom
arily serviced are Holstein, Guernsey,
Milking Shorthorn, and Brora Swiss, and
many co-ops have at least four Jplls of
each breed. The bulls in such service
?e normally confined to the barn except
>r daily exercise on a merry-go-round—a
•evolving arrangement which walks them
round a center pole.
BUTTER FAT INCREASE--Records kept by arti
ficial breeding organizations in New York
State give rise to the claim that, in the
last seven years, butterfat production ha;
been increased by 20# as a result of them
methods.
The short heat period of cows is the main
reason why artificial insemination has
not been extensively used with beef cattlt
Because beef herds ar6 not confined as
closely as dairy cows, the same opportuni
ties for observation and prompt artificial
servicing do not exist.
AT COUNTY FAIRS--0nc evidence that arti
ficial breeding is here to stay is tho
recognition accorded it by many county
fairs, which have special classes of
competition open only to artificially
bred animals.
Russia has made great ^ogress in arti
ficial insemination of animals since 1899,
Soviet figures for 1938'showed 15,000,000
Sheep, 1,200,000 cattle, and 120,000
wares bred by that method.
_£ES BRED ARTIFICIALLY
Improvement of honeybees by artificial,
insemination has been reported by W.C.
Roberts, University of Wisconsin special
list. According to Robert sf> the tcchniqui
holds great promise bocauso ten or more
generations of bees can be produced in
the time required for one generation of
COT7S—a fact that can accelerate the
development of desirable characteristics.
The advantage of artificial insemination
of bees lies.in the fact that it is the
only practicable method v’hich makes it
possible i'or the breeder to select the
male, Undor natural conditions, tho queon
mnt4s in the air rith whichever drone
happens along.
