Paraguay: Export of bovine genetic material to Peru approved after audit

"We celebrate this achievement, which  once again demonstrates the confidence of international markets  in the joint work carried out by the public and private sectors in the livestock sector, and we reaffirm our commitment to continue maintaining a veterinary system of excellence", they said.

In this regard, Senacsa's Quarantine Director, Norman Ramírez, told La Nación that  this is a great step that is being taken at the national level with the promotion of national genetics  that is conquering important markets such as Central America, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and now Peru has joined.

"This is a historic event and there are many centres that are once again getting ready to be authorised and export.  Today we have a new genetic centre that is in the process of being authorised, which is the ICBA,  located in Loma Plata and belongs to the Ideagro Foundation, which wishes to export bovine material", he said.

The Chaco Institute of Animal Biotechnology will be inaugurated soon and will be the second laboratory for export to any part of the world.  Currently, the first Taurus Genetic Center is in operation in the country, which will be in charge of carrying out negotiations with some Peruvian importing companies to begin sending batches through the ranchers.

Finally, Ramírez stressed that thanks to credibility and what is being developed today  with the vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease, security and transparency are generated for countries, which is why there is a lot of expectation . "The audit of Taiwan is also a product of this, now that they are going to bring chicken meat, the Korean mission, the presence of Mexico, the European community, it is a demonstration that the country is serious and reliable for exporting", he said.
