Through the past 150 years, CRV has served farmers from all over the world with genetics, from our top notch breeding programs, and with innovations like SireMatch, HerdOptimizer and FeedExcel. In the next 150 years, CRV wants to keep on serving farmers in the best possible way to create better cows for their herds and a better life for the farmers.
CRV FeedExcel ensures a highly productive herd that delivers more milk with less feed. Simply the smartest way to higher margins and lower emissions. In a world of rising costs, stricter regulations and resource scarcity, farmers are under increasing pressure to not only feed a growing global population, but to do so sustainably. An industry leader in livestock management and genetics, with FeedExcel CRV introduces innovative new ways to help farmers reach their goals.
HerdOptimizer uses a genomic test to reveal the genetic potential of your female animals. The outcome consists of breeding values based on the Dutch system for over 50 traits related to milk production, health, practice proven feed efficiency scores and conformation. This will give you a reliable prediction of the performance of the animals in the future. CRV also provides unique CRV breeding indicators for health and efficiency.
A healthy herd makes work more pleasurable and profitable. The CRV Health index improves fertility and udder and hoof health. This has the advantage of making herd management easier and reducing the number of cows that require treatment.
