Ficizen $emen., The Waterloo Cattle Breeding Association artificial insentination unit at Waterloo has become the first in the 'world to use 100 per cent frozen &eaneaa,. The anuouncereent made by. Manager Roy G. Snyder .at the unit's bull night Tuesday night amazed many of the 1,300 attend- ing, because although the unit went 100 per teat frozen ,last December, this was the first offi- cial announcement of the change. He said a total or 36,000 eo'v ' had been bred with the frozen semen. The conception rate was a little higher than than from liquid semea drawn daily and Possibly a little better than by t 1 breeding. riaurs "We have bred enough cows now to know the frozen semen to be statistically significant", he said. "it proves beyouda-doubt that .frozen semen is satisfactory.'" The semen may be stored in day ice at 112 degrees below sera for many 'months. This means that a farmer can breed .to the bull of his choice at the unit even one whiob isdead, said ilii. Snyder, It would be possible for farmer to breed his entire herd to ane bull. However, he does not recommend this: He recommends two or three differ- est bulls. Selective Mating Another advantage is that "el - most any bull, owned by anyone anywhere, can be made available for, selective mating," he said, It also means . that a farmer can arrange in advance to use any bull in a unit. Mr. 'Snyder does not think there is a great deal more cost in using the frozen semen than the liquid semen. The extra cost In- volved in freezing the semen is offset by the fact that there is not the wastage of semen and stricter quality controls can be maintain ed. Shipments do not have to be made every day.. to the seven branch offices which"are equip- ped to handle frozen seinen. The results of the new process could be a super race of .cattle, said the upit manager. "If a super race does not de -1 velop groin these 'modern meth- ods, it is only because the minds of men cannot produce the ideas for the right matings;" he said. He qualified the statement with "I do not expect a super race at Cattle immediately but I do e4- pest them to be better than ave- rage." • Waterloo has pioneered in the artificial insemination of cattle In Canada. The process was /be- gun in North America in the late '30s with the idea that by using better bulls all breeds would be improved, and at a price everyone could afford, • Originated In 'Waterloo. The 'first artificial breeding in Canada originated in Waterloo county in 1941. • "One of the things we are proud of is that Dr. C. R. Reeds worked in tbe first artificial breeding 'busitless eight here at Waterloo," said Mr. Synder. Ile left to manage the Maple. Unit in 1945. Dr. R. J. Macdonald also work- ed,in the first unit here -at Water- looand left to manage the Unlit at Woodstock in 1949. These anent worked ith Dr. J. E. John- son, Waterloo Veterinariau, who was in charge of the work at that time, A few years ago, Dr. J. A, Hen. Orson of the Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph, visited. Englancl. and learned the frozen semen process, He and Dr, J. 'w. Mac- pherson did roost of the Prelimin- ary experimental work in Cana- da. • The Waterloo unit co-operated by supplying semen to be froze and members' cows on which to use the seinen. History ,was made two - years n thefirst ,ea f ago when f s 1 in Cana- da resulting :from the use of frozen semen was sired by a unit Jersey !hall, Jester's Dreamer. More and more •Cows were bred with frozen semen last summer until the Waterloo unit directors were satisfied that the method was practical and successful, Last December 1, they gave the ap- proval to •change over to the pro- eess entirely. your Dollars.
