Compares the options of keeping or culling a cow after three unsuccessful inseminations using farm-specific economic data.
This application calculates the expected economic value (EV_n) when continuing up to the n-th insemination. Immediate culling is considered the baseline scenario (EV1 = Open cow sale value).
Standard pregnancy probabilities are provided as sample inputs based on literature reporting AI outcomes in repeat breeder cows. Synchronization values are created by applying a conservative increase to standard values based on reported hormonal benefits. These are model inputs, not direct results of a single protocol.
| Strategy | Expected Value (USD/Cow) | Difference (vs Immediate Cull) (USD/Cow) | Expected Extra Cost |
