SemexLaunched just one year ago, Semex's patented Immunity+™ sires have a naturally high immune response. By using these sires, herds can improve their overall health and longevity, breeding a herd that has less disease, a greater response to vaccines and higher quality colostrum.

"Every dairyman wants to get everything in one complete package," says Jay Shannon, Semex Global Dairy Solutions Manager. "In the genetics and reproduction business, this is a tall order to fill, but Semex's Immunity+ lineup is about as close as it gets to truly doing that."

"Every analysis we've performed since Immunity+'s introduction offers additional validation. And, we continually analyze the herd data of Immunity+ sires' daughters to confirm the impact that one generation of Immunity+ bulls can have on a dairy," says Shannon. "And, by using Immunity+ in your breeding program, each successive generation can accumulate further disease resistance."
