How to log insemination on DairyLogs

Log AI or natural service in DairyLogs Breeding → Insemination with semen, status, and expected PD/calving dates.

Breeding → Insemination stores AI and natural service records with status plus expected pregnancy check and calving dates. Pick semen from the bank for AI so conception rate by semen stays meaningful.

Before you start

Add the service: Choose the animal, AI vs natural service, technician/bull details, semen straw for AI, service date, and heat observed when applicable.
