this cow is technically known as a

so what is the science behind the
so what is the science behind the Belgian blues
there is a gene that regulates the
there is a gene that regulates the growth of muscles in cattle these cows
growth of muscles in cattle these cows
growth of muscles in cattle these cows have been selectively bred from animals
have been selectively bred from animals
have been selectively bred from animals that contain a copy of this gene which
that contain a copy of this gene which
that contain a copy of this gene which doesn’t work as a result their muscles
doesn’t work as a result their muscles
doesn’t work as a result their muscles grow far larger than normal to ensure
grow far larger than normal to ensure
grow far larger than normal to ensure the defective gene is passed on sex for
the defective gene is passed on sex for
the defective gene is passed on sex for the Belgian blues has been replaced by
the Belgian blues has been replaced by
the Belgian blues has been replaced by technology in the form of artificial
technology in the form of artificial
technology in the form of artificial insemination he is a basically a sperm
insemination he is a basically a sperm
insemination he is a basically a sperm machine either sperm machine absolutely
it’s very early in the morning for I
it’s very early in the morning for I understand the semen is now collected is
understand the semen is now collected is
understand the semen is now collected is in the artificial vagina and from there
in the artificial vagina and from there
in the artificial vagina and from there we process the semen in order to be able
we process the semen in order to be able
we process the semen in order to be able to process artificial insemination on
to process artificial insemination on
to process artificial insemination on the code so precise is the technology
the code so precise is the technology
the code so precise is the technology involved they can analyze the semen
involved they can analyze the semen
involved they can analyze the semen sperm by sperm to choose the ones they
sperm by sperm to choose the ones they
sperm by sperm to choose the ones they want so this is what this is testing the
want so this is what this is testing the
want so this is what this is testing the sperm count

that’s a sperm analogy it’s now checking
that’s a sperm analogy it’s now checking let’s say the quality of the sperm we
let’s say the quality of the sperm we
let’s say the quality of the sperm we have been collecting this morning Green
have been collecting this morning Green
have been collecting this morning Green is good because you see that they are
is good because you see that they are
is good because you see that they are very very mobile and they are looking

these are not especially muscley sperm
these are not especially muscley sperm don’t you find that they are throwing us

well they look impressive to me but I’ve
well they look impressive to me but I’ve never seen any other well-known visually
never seen any other well-known visually
never seen any other well-known visually you won’t see any difference there is no
you won’t see any difference there is no
you won’t see any difference there is no way to find any difference between the
way to find any difference between the
way to find any difference between the bovine equine and the the other species
