Tridge summary

The National Institute of Agrarian Innovation (INIA) has distributed semen straws from high-value Brown Swiss and Simmental cattle to district municipalities in Peru, with the goal of promoting the use of reproductive biotechnologies and improving cattle genetics. The semen will result in calves that are productive and have high-quality meat and milk. This initiative, part of several projects, was developed in collaboration with the municipal entities to foster innovation in the livestock sector and economically empower small and medium producers. The genetic material will be delivered to producers, and INIA specialists will provide training on various aspects of cattle farming.

The National Institute of Agrarian Innovation (INIA) of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (MIDAGRI) has transferred up to 830 straws of semen from high-value Brown Swiss and Simmental cattle to the district municipalities of Olleros and Granada (Chachapoyas province) and Florida (Bongará province), in order to provide high-quality genetic material to promote the use of reproductive biotechnologies in the genetic improvement of cattle. Of the 830 semen straws, 300 correspond to the municipal council of Olleros, 230 to Granada and 300 to Florida. The transfer, which was carried out through the INIA Amazonas Agrarian Experimental Station, through the PROMEG Tropical, PROMEG Nacional and PROGAM livestock projects, will generate the birth of bovine calves by artificial insemination with a good capacity to increase milk productivity with high levels of solids and nutrients, as well as high quality meat. Of the total amount of genetic material transferred, 680 straws ...
