All the data being generated from the cows’ sensors revealed another, even more important insight, said Sirosh: Fujitsu researchers found that within the sixteen-hour ideal window for artificial insemination, if you performed that function in the first four hours, there was a “seventy percent probability you got a female calf, and if you did it in the second four hours there was a higher probability that you got a male.” So this could enable a farmer “to shape the mix of cows and bulls in his herd according to his needs.”
