Tridge summary

Argentina has made its first export of four purebred bulls to Chile for breeding purposes, marking a significant milestone for the country's livestock industry and its international genetics expansion goals. This historic event, facilitated by the National Agri-Food Health and Quality Service (Senasa), involves the shipment of four elderly Hereford and Angus breeding cattle from Trevelin, Chubut province, to Coyhaique, Chile, following over three years of sanitary negotiations with Chile's Servicio Agrícola Ganadero (SAG). The export, which is part of Argentina's strategy to increase its livestock production footprint globally, was made possible by the country's sanitary conditions and the recognition of its control system by Chile. The animals were kept in quarantine and underwent all required diagnostic tests before export, with operational management and diagnostic determinations overseen by Senasa and the Buenos Aires Senasa Laboratory. This achievement is expected to boost the sectors and improve global positioning for Argentine animals and genetics.
