Turkey: New Bovine Genetics Import Regulations in Turkey

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In March 2017, Turkey’s Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Livestock (MinFAL) added new categories to their genetic imports requirements which broadened the variety of dairy cattle genetics which can be imported into Turkey. For the United States, this now permits bull semen in the Top 200 list for both proven and genomic bulls at any time in the past ten years to qualify for export. Producers in Turkey will be able to make more genetic progress and have higher producing, more efficient and economical dairy cattle by using this broader range of elite bulls.
