1 PASTURE BASED GENETICS

2 2 Cogent are committed to assisting dairy farmers in driving profitability. One of the easiest ways of doing this is to breed efficient cows that will produce high quality milk from the cheapest feed available: Grass. Collaboration is one of the core principals at Cogent, when we aren t leaders in a certain field we will align ourselves with companies that are. That is exactly what we have done with Eurogene AI services and their line up of pasture based genetics. Eurogene AI services have sold bulls on the Irish base since it began in They focus on strong cow families with high weightings of fat and protein, as well as having tight calving intervals. These bulls compliment our own Cogent owned sires that rank very well on the base, such as Cogent Twist and Peak Mr Grey. We strongly feel that this provides one of the most comprehensive offerings available to the dairy industry and the addition of sexed semen and profitable beef genetics only adds to the attraction of our portfolio.

4 What is? (Economic Breeding Index) The base was developed in 2000 to ensure continued genetic gain on Irish farms. Farms that are typically grazing their herds for the majority of the year and that require cows to produce high quality milk from grass alone. It is also important for Irish cows to calve regularly, ensuring calving blocks stay tight and the most can be made of the summer grazing months. 4
