Genetic programme
Diversity and worldwide sire procurement
Having always in mind the improvement of herds productivity, GENES DIFFUSION has chosen as motto "take the best wherever it is ". It is in the rich and large european Holstein population (Belgium, Germany, Holland, Italy and especially France where the majority of the bulls are bought), that our specialists recruit the genetics fulfilling the requirements of our selection programme.
Cradle of the Holstein genetics, the United States remain an interesting source where 250 embryos are selected annually. From Canada, another leading country in the holstein selection, we also import around 100 embryos also annually. Last, some fifty embryos are collected in Europe.
In France, the sourcing is mostly realised inside the GD+ Charter (Nucleus) and, also, in our working area with partner breeders.
Search for confirmed lines
In France, more than 600 purchase contracts of bull calves are signed annually. Moreover, in order to satisfy a regular demand of breeders, we aim to put a few Red Holstein bulls in our catalog each year.
Rigour and professionalism of the staff
It is through the diversity and universalization of the genetic procurement, the search for confirmed lines, the rigour and professionalism of its staff, that the GENES DIFFUSION GROUP manages the improvement of the dairy herds, in order to provide durable, innovating and performing genetics.
