Last Friday, a visit to the Santa Irene Salon, Ganagrin SA, tour 8th World Congress of Bradford Argentina 2022, organized by the Bradford Association of Argentina (ABA) with the support of Expoagro.

“Dozens of breeders from Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Australia have been able to learn about this herd’s working system in their fields in Entre Rოსos, Corrientes and Buenos Aires, where they use their genetic package for the full breeding cycle,” said Expo. .

There are schools in the Santa Irene Salon in the Gureguayuichu district (Entre Ríos). In the case of livestock, which accounts for 60% of its business, the company produces approximately 12,000 styles for export each year, and where Brafford’s genetics allow it to reach exciting levels of production. Eight years ago they produced 3 million kilograms of meat a year and today that is twice as much. The opening day was attended by Ganagrin president Luis Otero Monsegur.

“The genetics we have developed have allowed us to improve the company’s meat production performance,” explained Otero Monsegur. Jan added: “It was a very important tool: eight years ago we produced 3 million kilograms of meat a year; Today we produce exactly twice as much and I think we have to give a very high proportion to genetics. It was crucial to use belly and soft bulls in the production of meat with obvious urgency and simplicity. ”

Diego Graney, who is responsible for the genetic part of the herd, then spoke about stops with the lots. “We are the main clients of our genetics,” he said. “We put Brahford’s genetics on top of the pyramid, and from there it spills over into our livestock and meat herds.”

In recent years, the Santa Irene Salon has won significant prizes in shows at the Brawford Circle, including the 2019 Grand Macho Champion of Palermo. In addition to outstanding prizes at national shows in Corrientes that year and 2021.

“The biotype we are looking for in Ganagrin is a well-adapted animal with well-defined racial characteristics. In addition, we attach great importance to sexual biomorphism: that females are very feminine and bulls are very masculine, this allows us to achieve more effective productive characteristics throughout the cycle, “- said Gran.

For his part, Ganagrin SA General Manager Juan Bake explained: “Brawford’s genetics and the years of herd selection have enabled us to produce 6 million kilograms of meat a year today; 12,000 slaughtered quota for 481, reached 470/480 kilograms in 20 or 22 months; By converting 6.5 to 7.2 kilograms of dry matter per kilogram of meat; This efficiency largely depends on genetics. “

A breed congress will be held at the Rural de Corrientes tomorrow, a workshop on a variety of topics will be held on Wednesday, and the Braford International Dog Show will be held on Thursday, June 2-4.
