Timing of AI relative to increased activity or synchronized ovulations to optimize fertility in lactating dairy cows

September 2, 2026

Join Dr. Paul M. Fricke for this presentation as he discusses research on the best timing for AI following oestrus detection alerts or synchronization protocols.

The presentation will also be available for on-demand viewing afterwards at https://www.communivet.com/web/en/fa/education/webcasts/timing-of-ai

The timing of artificial insemination (AI) plays a critical role in achieving optimal fertility in dairy cows. In this presentation, Dr. Paul Fricke will share research on the best timing for AI following oestrus detection alerts or synchronization protocols. He will discuss how inseminating too early or too late can affect pregnancy per AI (P/AI) and present practical recommendations for maximizing conception rates when using either conventional or sex-sorted semen in lactating dairy cows.
