Dairyman Discusses
New Breeding Program ■
(Release from Matanuska Valley,
Dairymen’s Association)
William J. Sweetman was pres
ent at the recent meeting of the
Matanuska Valley Dairymen’s
Association to report on the
progress of the artificial insemi
nation program. He told the
dairymen that 66 animals had
been inseminated before July 1.
The Association expressed satis
faction with the progress of the
new program.
Mr. Sweetman outlined several
points, whereby cattle owners
will obtain the best results from
the artificial insemination pro
gram. He stated that there is a
tendency to request insemination
too early in the heat period of
the cow.
“The sperm seldom lives longer
than 25 hours in a cow,” he said,
“The normal heat period Is from
10 to 17 hours. A cow ovulates
three to six hours after the heat
period, therefore,” Mr. Sweetman
stated, “animals inseminated in
the latter part of the period have
greater chance of conceiving.”
He stated that a cow coming in
heat after 12 noon should be in
seminated the following morning.
Those indicating heat in fore
noon should be inseminated aft
er 10 o’clock that day.
There has been considerable
confusion, Mr. Sweetman said, as
to time of notification. He said
failure to notify him before 10
o’clock has cost the Association
too much extra mileage and time.
The best time to call for serv
ice is between 9 and 10 o’clock in
the morning, if service is desired
the same day. For animals com
ing in heat in the forenoon he re
quests notification as soon as
possible the next morning.
On Sundays and holidays, Mr.
Sweetman may be reached by
phone only between the hours of
9 and 10 o’clock in the morning.
Parker Lester told the group
that farmers in Seldovia and Ho
mer had expressed interest in the
program, the first artificial ex
periment in breeding to get un
der way in Alaska. These dairy
men have requested membership
in the Association. The group ex
pressed their willingness to ac
cept the Kenai farmers into the
organization.
