Dairy producers worldwide are raving about the benefits of SemexÂ's exclusive Immunity+™ sires. As Â'real farmÂ' performance data accumulates, more clients, veterinarians and processors are excited to improve their own herdsÂ' health naturally.
Based on the HIR (High Immune Response) technology developed by Dr. Bonnie Mallard and her colleagues at the University of Guelph, the research surrounding this technology spans decades. It shows that HIR cows have 19-30% lower disease incidence compared to herd averages. These cows also respond better to commercial vaccines and produce higher quality colostrum. As a result, they are more profitable by bringing in more revenue, lowering costs and wasting less of the dairyman's time. And, most importantly, Immunity+ works.
Â"It really ensures your herd is healthy, that your herd is looked after and it increases your return on investment,Â" says Paul Krueger, Semex Immunity+ Global Brand Manager. Â"For the first time ever we can identify the genetic link to immunityÂ... How the animal responds to disease. No other product or solution available has this, or is 25% heritable with immediate effectsÂ... This starts at birth, thereÂ's no wait.Â"
