Become a co-owner of high-quality genetic Holsteins!
The 3STAR EmbryoProgram from GenHotel offers a unique opportunity for breeders to enhance their breeding potential through the strategic use of high-quality embryos. By providing a selection of genetically diverse embryos, this program empowers breeders to make informed choices that align with their breeding goals. It combines shared ownership, a straightforward investment structure, and equal sharing of income and costs. This program not only aims to improve genetic advancements but also fosters a collaborative relationship between breeders and 3STAR Genetics, ensuring a sustainable and profitable approach to livestock breeding.
Overview of the 3STAR Genetics Embryo Program:
1. Availability of Embryos: 3STAR Genetics offers a selection of embryos for farmers. The specific embryos chosen are at the farmer's discretion based on genetic combinations.
2. No Obligation: Farmers are not obligated to take a specific number of embryos.
3. Usage Timeline: Farmers must ensure that embryos are used within 6 weeks of delivery.
4. Ownership: Calves produced through this program are 50% owned by the farmer.
Investment Responsibilities for Farmers:
- Implantation Costs: Farmers are responsible for the costs associated with implantation.
- Recipient Care: Farmers provide recipients for embryo implantation.
- Additional Payment: There is a charge per embryo, ranging from €150 to €400.
- Income and Breeding Costs: - Once the calves are born, both the breeding income and costs will be shared equally between the farmer and 3STAR Genetics.
What Happens Next?
Heifers: Heifer calves born through the program are co-owned, with 50% ownership by both the farmer and GenHotel. These calves will undergo genomic testing. Based on the test results and the farmer's preferences, decisions will be made about whether to keep or sell the heifers. - If retained for breeding purposes, GenHotel continues to be a co-owner and shares in any future breeding costs incurred.
Bulls: Bulls must be raised by the farmer in a healthy environment free from disease. GenHotel customers will conduct genomic evaluations on the bulls, after GenHotel will make efforts to market and sell them. If bulls are sold to AI programs, the farmer will be reimbursed for half of the rearing costs incurred from three months of age onwards. Any proceeds from bulls that are not sold to AI will be entirely for the farmer, along with associated rearing costs.
