Siryx
Conventional semen (5-20 million unselected cells per straw)
• 234 / 12 = 20 straws
SiryX (2 million selected cells per straw)
• 14 / 2 = 7 straws
SiryX production:
• 7 straws per hour x
• 24 hours x
• 5 days x
• 4 machines =
• 3.360 straws / week

Genomic Selection
Breeding for Profit | Karel Fentsahm | 2011 | 25
Why Genomic Selection ?
Tomorrow’s top genetics today: shorter generation interval
Reliable young sires
Increased genetic improvement (30-40%)
Variety in breeding goals
Higher selection intensity testsires
Secundairy traits
More outcross; less inbreeding
Breeding for Profit | Karel Fentsahm | 2011 | 26
Selection with genetic markers spread across the genome
