The Vision Defined
A group of dairy cattle reproduction experts including academicians, veterinarians, dairy producers and allied industries—semen, pharmaceutical and nutrition companies—organized the first DCRC meeting in 2005 with a vision that the organization will:

• Be a noncommercial, science-based organization whose main goal is to promote the development and adoption of reproductive technologies.
• Be open to all sectors in the dairy industry with an interest in dairy cattle reproduction. It will be an inclusive organization with the responsibility to reach out to several sectors of the dairy industry.
• Aim to become the primary source of information and technology regarding reproductive management and will become a conduit of information relative to integrated management considerations.
• Adopt a common terminology, identify key parameters and minimum goals for evaluation of reproductive performance, and provide educational material for reference.
• Identify critical areas for technology development and transfer. l and/or regional meetings to disseminate information.

DCRC welcomes all who wish to contribute to the organization and urges individuals to assume leadership responsibilities. Please join us in creating an organization with truly unlimited potential.
