What are the advantages of dairy crossbreeding?
- Take advantage of the superior traits of various breeds. For example, Jerseys excel in solids production and Norwegian Reds have exceptional fertility and health. Using these breed advantages makes substantial, sustainable improvements in your herd. This is called “complementarity” or using breeds that will best deliver the herd you need.
- Heterosis or Hybrid Vigor is the “free benefit” of crossbreeding that enhances performance, particularly in the fertility and health traits. Improved fertility, health and longevity contributes to increased profitability and an easier to manage herd.
- Change your herd faster. Taking advantage of the significant differences between breeds gives you the power to improve your herd more quickly. For example, using Jersey on Holstein can dramatically drop weight and stature in just one generation, creating a more efficient herd of cows.
