1.1 Introduction to Oestrus Synchronisation & Artificial Insemination (Nico du Preeze) (01.12.56)
When a breeding program underperforms despite investing in high-quality stock, the issue often isn’t the genetics—it’s the timing and technique. Understanding the science of reproduction shows why precise hormone management is the foundation of artificial insemination, how to safely manipulate the oestrus cycle using progesterone and PMSG, and how to track physiological cues like cervical mucus to pinpoint the perfect insemination window.
1.2 Breeding Selection (Antoinette Dry) (00.23.13)
When goats look impressive but fail to perform, the problem isn’t appearance—it’s functional structure. Understanding the blueprint of long bodies, deep frames, and correct legs shows how physical conformation directly dictates meat yield, walking ability, and maternal capacity. At Kilifi Creek, our breeding selection course turns conformation into a management tool rather than a gamble.
1.3 Preparation & Management of Your Breeding Animals (Antoinette Dry) (01.07.00)
Peak kidding percentages don’t happen by accident—they are built in the weeks leading up to the breeding season. Understanding reproductive preparation shows how to step up nutrition and implement tactical supplement timing, adapt new bucks safely to maintain libido, and use a precise body condition score scale to get both sexes in optimum condition.
Practical: Synchronisation & Artificial Insemination
Artificial insemination gives you the power to multiply your best buck’s genetics across your entire herd in a single day, without the risk of injuring your animals or spreading disease. Making use of Artificial insemination can open doors that would otherwise not be possible: from Taking control of your herd’s genetics takes more than mastering it in theory; it requires clear, hands-on skills.
