ASAP®
In today's fast moving world time is valuable. This is especially true on dairy operations where producers
and their employees are conducting multiple tasks throughout a day in hopes of making
the farm the most profitable. And one thought that is always at the back of a producer"s
mind..."Are my cows getting pregnant?"
Accelerated Genetics ASAP® (Accelerated Synchronization Assistance Program) is a
SOLUTION for producers with these types of concerns. ASAP® was developed to assist
all sizes of
dairy and
beef operations to simplify and manage their reproduction program using
proven reproductive synchronization programs. The goals of ASAP® are getting more
pregnancies, improving time management, providing a cow-side tool that is user friendly,
and giving technical and reproduction support.
What is ASAP?
ASAP® is a computer program that will help you get control of your cows reproduction. Many producers accept that there is room for improvement in their reproduction plan but they just do not know where to begin because you do not know where they are. With ASAP you define your management goals to be successful in your reproduction program by providing desired management information as follows:- Voluntary waiting period.
- Minimum breeding age for heifers.
- Days to first pregnancy check.
- Days to second pregnancy check (if desired).
- Duration of dry period.
- Time of the day to work with reproduction.
Initial load of your cows into the ASAP program is easy! Just by providing the DHI number and the release code of your dairy to your Accelerated Representative, you will have all your cows loaded in your handheld. If you do not report data to a testing center the process needs be done manually.
You can modify your basic information at any time. After you enter all your animals into the ASAP program you can build specific synchronization programs from all available protocols for the synchronization of estrus or ovulation.
- You do not need to select the cows to be included in the protocol!
- You do not need to know how the protocol works!
- You do not need to build the schedule of activities for the group!
ASAP is Friendly!
- You can choose from many reproductive synchronization programs.
- Requires very little information to get started using the program.
- Daily reminders are provided about scheduled reproductive activities.
- The user friendly screen design makes it easy to operate even for people with little or no experience with pocket computers.
ASAP is Reliable
- Only proven reproductive synchronization programs are used.
- You are not alone. Accelerated Genetics provides high quality technical support through a team of computer and reproductive specialists and A.I. technicians.

ASAP is Comprehensive
ASAP can greatly help you simplify reproductive management. You can have on-screen access to individual and group information. Also printed reports will give you the most updated information which include:- Today's ASAP activities to perform.

- All Animals: List of all animals on the farm with the following information:
- ID(name or number).
- Pen Name or Number.
- Synchronization Group ID#.
- Reproductive Status.
- Days Since Breeding.
- Days in Milk.
- Productive Status.
- Last Event Preformed to Each Animal.

- Special Needs Group: Lists all animals you have set as 'non-eligible to be bred' sorted by different categories.
ASAP is a perfect fit for your management system!
Contrary to people’s belief, ASAP is not only for implementation of timed AI programs. ASAP allows you to breed cows to standing estrus at any time, even if they are already enrolled in a synchronization program. In such case, ASAP drops the animal from the remaining hormonal protocol and keeps her actual insemination date. Immediately, ASAP puts your cow on schedule for pregnancy checks, dry off and due to calving. It is a fantastic tool to keep track of cows’ reproduction in both estrus detection and TAI systems.
