Proven genetic lineage refers to the verified and documented ancestry of a bull, showing that it comes from a line of animals known for consistently producing high-performing offspring. This means the bull’s parents, grandparents, and siblings have a track record of desirable traits such as:
✅ High milk production
✅ Strong fertility
✅ Disease resistance
✅ Fast growth rate
✅ Good temperament
📊 Why Is Proven Genetic Lineage Important in Bull Semen?
- Predictable Results
You are more likely to get calves with the traits you want, such as higher milk yield or strong body structure. - Reduced Risk
Using semen from genetically proven bulls lowers the risk of genetic defects or poor performance. - Better Return on Investment
Farmers get better results from fewer inseminations, saving time and money. - Improved Herd Quality Over Time
Breeding with bulls from strong bloodlines helps improve the entire herd generation after generation.
🧬 Example:
If a bull’s mother produced 25 liters of milk per day and his sisters also show high milk yield, this is a sign of proven genetics. If his daughters from semen use also produce high milk consistently, the bull is considered genetically reliable.
