Quantum Leap
Quantum Leap 3-way commercial crossbreeding is designed to help bring you rapid genetic progress within your herd for fertility, health, cell count and longevity. All key areas that have a large impact on the profitability of your dairy business.
Genetic gain in traits that have a low heritability such as fertility, cell count and longevity can be made within breed, but these gains are painfully slow in being realised within your herd. It can take more than a lifetime of breeding, within breed, to get the same genetic gain for a trait such as fertility, which is possible to achieve in only one generation through the effect of heterosis (hybrid vigour) when you crossbreed.
By using Quantum Leap 3-way commercial crossbreeding, you can expect gains through the effects of heterosis for;
Around 5% for production.
At least a 10% gain in fertility
Around 10% gain in longevity
Look for the Quantum Leap coded sires in our Ausred Genetics Sire 2008 Catalogue.
Only bulls approved by the Australian Dairy Red Breed Overseas selection committee will be used by Ausred Genetics for its Quantum leap coded sires. This ensures that you, the commercial dairy farmer, only get the best of the world’s best, Red and Montbeliarde genetics suitable for crossbreeding.
Quantum Leap coded sires are specifically chosen to enhance the genetic weaknesses of the recipient breed groups within your herd.
To ensure you the highest probability of rapid genetic gain through the effect of
Heterosis (hybrid vigour), to produce labour efficient low maintenance “easy care”
cows, with excellent fertility and longevity, easy calvings, carry extra body condition
and reduce the number of replacements needed for your dairy business.
Quantum Leap coded sires are selected to help you best avoid the genetic traits that have negative correlations to fertility, health and survival, and promote the most desirable genetic traits for longevity and profit within your dairy herd.
In addition the Quantum Leap coded sires are selected to help increase your efficiency of production by breeding cows that are capable of a high intake per kg of live weight, and can best cope with variations in inputs, to enable maximum profit under different milk price / cost ratios.
Use the Quantum Leap coded sires from our Ausred Genetics 2008 Sire Catalogue with confidence for easy sire selection to achieve maximum gain from crossbreeding.
Quantum Leap coded sires for best results over:
Holstein cows & heifers;
Quantum Leap coded sires in this group are guaranteed to have zero Holstein content to ensure you achieve maximum heterosis (hybrid vigour) in your 3-way crossbreeding program.
They are specifically selected to enhance the Holstein for fertility, body condition, calving ease, feet & legs and cell count.
They are also selected to improve the efficiency of production of your Holstein cows and help lower your production costs.
Jersey cows;
Quantum Leap coded sires in this group are specifically selected to compliment the Jersey breed. The areas that these Quantum Leap coded sires best address are protein production, fertility, cell count and health when used over your Jersey cows.
Holstein x Jersey cows;
Quantum Leap coded sires in this group are specifically selected to address the genetic weaknesses of the Holstein x Jersey cow. Cell count, udder balance, rear udder depth, feet and legs and inconsistency in size and stature.
