Bovine Reproduction and A.I. Training Course in English

September 26 - September 27, 2016

Bovine Reproduction and A.I. Training Course in English

During the last week of September we will be offering a Bovine Reproduction & Artificial Insemination Training Course in collaboration of Genex Cooperative, Inc. This two-day class will be offered once in Spanish and once in English. 

This course is an excellent opportunity for farmers and employees who are interested in learning the important points of artificial insemination. Jonna Egli and Abraham Cohen of Genex will be teaching the class. While the course will offer as much hands-on practice as possible, it's important to note that it is a beginner's course meant to teach the basics of artificial insemination. Participants should expect to practice inseminating cows on a regular basis in order to become proficient. 

Topics covered will include: 
  • Bovine Anatomy
  • Reproductive Physiology
  • Synchronization Protocols
  • Heat Detection
  • Artificial Insemination Technique
  • Proper Thawing of Semen
  • Loading A.I. Guns
  • Practice Breeding Cows
Registration is limited to 15 people per session. The cost includes lunch on both days and materials.  Register at https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/BovineReproduction-2_256 or by calling Zachary Amey at 585-786-2251. Contact Libby Eiholzer (607-793-4847) with any questions.

2025 Cornell Food Beverage & Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey

December 19, 2025

Industry and Educational Advocates for New York State's Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturing industries:

As you know, NYS has a diverse food and beverage manufacturing industry, in both the types of industries that exist and the wide distribution of firms by scale. Many manufacturing firms have strong backward linkages to agricultural production sectors in the state that support both farm-level and downstream food industry firms and consumers. In collaboration with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, a team from Cornell University's Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management has recently rolled out the 2025 New York State Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey. The industry will benefit from an updated assessment of the industry that informs private and public investments and opportunities to support firm growth and improved profitability.
