Paraguay: Start insemination and embryo transfer with UK straws

Published Mar 16, 2023

Tridge summary

The Genetic Improvement Plan in Paraguay is making significant progress, particularly among over 15 herds that have invested in texel genetics from the United Kingdom. The plan involves the insemination and transfer of embryos from the imported straws, with the recent import of 400 doses from the UK for genetic improvement. This initiative is expected to increase the value of the meat sector both domestically and internationally, including potential future exports of genetic material. The insemination process has already begun, and the next step is pregnancy certification, with the expectation of newborns in five months. This advancement is seen as a major progress for the national sheep farming and the genetic improvement of the Texel breed in Paraguay.

The Genetic Improvement Plan promoted by the APCT in Paraguay presents a great advance for the more than 15 herds in the country that invested in importing texel genetics from the United Kingdom. Today, the straws brought from Europe are in the process of insemination and transfer of their own embryos. In this sense, the president of the guild explained to our media that two weeks ago 400 doses produced by six different rams were imported from the United Kingdom for the genetic improvement of the breed with English blood. It is the second purchase of straws of the English texel breed made by Paraguayan producers, since in September last year two herds imported genetic material from the same market. He stressed that this initiative will provide greater value to the meat sector both for the production and for future exports of genetic material with the Paraguayan seal or live cattle. Likewise, the availability of a genetic center to freeze semen straws and move forward with the ...
