Products & Services
BETTER LIFE HEALTH

The Better Life Health index (BLH), expressed as a percentage, indicates the bull’s progeny will have a lower rate of health incidents like mastitis, lameness, difficult births or reproductive problems.  CRV is the only company that calculates a breeding value for ketosis which is incorporated in BETTER LIFE HEALTH.

A2 MILK

The demand for A2 milk is growing with investor enthusiasm for business in the infant formula and natural health products sectors. CRV XSEED offers a range of A2 sires specifically for farmers who wish to enter this speciality market. A2 milk contains only the A2 type betacasein protein rather than the more common A1 protein commonly found in regular cows’ milk.  It usually takes two cow generations through tailored A2 genetics (about ten years) to convert a herd to A2A2.

BETTER LIFE EFFICIENCY

The Better Life Efficiency (BLE) index supports sustainable dairy farming by helping to reduce feed costs and increasing lifetime production, resulting in a lower enviromental footprint.

CONCEPTION RATE

As the bulls in the Netherlands conception rates are continualy monitored – conception figures per bull can be calculated.
