ABS Certification allows specialization and expertise:

Our RMS Professional Technicians attend the comprehensive ABS RMS Certified Training Program located near Sunnyside, Washington. The two week intensive program focuses on optimizing heat detection in order to maximize pregnancy production on customer dairies. This encompasses training on large commercial dairies, with both open lot and freestall housing. The training is supervised by veteran technicians with the assistance of a commercial veterinarian. Technicians leave the training center having spent eight to ten hours a day on-farm honing the skills necessary to make the right decisions behind the cows. Because a comprehensive working knowledge of reproduction is also necessary for good heat detection skills, attendees spend two to three hours per day working with ABS Global University and presentations from industry experts  to prepare them for a final written exam.
