“For the cow that gave birth to triplets, this will be her fourth lactation. The birth took place without complications, the mother feels good and willingly feeds. It is worth adding that pregnancy comes from natural estrus, without the use of hormones," emphasizes WCHIRZ.

The breeder manages proper reproduction himself
The Binkowski herd consists of 70 milking cows, and the average annual productivity is approx. 12,000. kg of milk. As reported by WCHIRZ, in their work they pay a lot of attention to improving well-being and profitability of production. The fact that breeders are veterinary technicians by profession is certainly helpful when working with cattle. Moreover, Mateusz Binkowski completed an insemination course at WCHiRZ 9 years ago and manages proper reproduction in his herd himself. The center noted that no hormonal programs are used in this herd – hormones are used only as therapeutic agents.
