Brazil: bovine genetics exports hit highest point in history

Exports of bovine genetics (i.e., bull semen) from Brazil reached the highest point in history from January to September 2022, according to the Brazilian Association of Artificial Insemination (Asbia) in a study conducted with Cepea (Applied Economics Center).

In the eleven-month period, 361,056 doses of semen for cut cattle were shipped to 11 eleven countries, up 11.8% compared to the same period in 2021, while 345,828 doses for milk cattle were sent off to 14 countries, totaling 706,884 doses, an increase of 4.4% on the same comparison basis.

In a note, Asbia assesses that Brazilian genetics “is getting increasingly recognized.” In total, semen sales (cut and milk) reached 19,669,138 doses between January and September 2022, according to Asbia.

This result represents a decrease of 5.8% compared to the first nine months of last year (20,886,986 doses).
