That\u2019s why, at ABS, we focus on creating a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/genetic-diversity-your-south-african-genetic-plan\/\">diverse portfolio of balanced genetics<\/a>\u2014designed to produce profitable, healthy cows built for long-term success. This approach gives you the flexibility to prioritize the traits that matter most to you. Alongside genetics, we\u2019ve developed innovative tools and programs to help producers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/profit-from-genetic-progress\/\">maximize the benefits of genetic progress.<\/a> But don\u2019t just take our word for it. \u00a0Hear firsthand from producers who are turning genetic progress into profit, efficiency, and sustainability with ABS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-marcio-ribeiro-paraiso-farm-guaraita-go\"><strong>M\u00c1RCIO RIBEIRO, PARA\u00cdSO FARM,<br>GUARA\u00cdTA (GO)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>M\u00e1rcio is a former banker who was unsatisfied with the income from his profession, so he decided to enter livestock farming\u2014a lifelong dream for him. In 1997, he purchased the farm and began raising beef cattle, focusing on the Nelore breed. Four years later, seeking greater profitability, he started transitioning to dairy farming. He began with crossbred cattle, but 16 years ago, the herd became 100% Holstein.&nbsp; M\u00e1rcio said, \u201cI always dreamed of owning a farm. We bought the farm to raise beef cattle and gradually grew to love the activity. Seeking higher returns, we moved into dairying. We gradually sold off the beef herd, acquired crossbred cattle, and later, switched to Holsteins. Today, our herd is 100% Holstein.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unlock-profit-with-genetic-progress\"><strong>Unlock Profit with Genetic Progress<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning, production was around 20 liters of milk per day. Currently, there are <strong>420 lactating cows<\/strong>, producing an <strong>average of 43 liters per cow<\/strong>, totaling <strong>more than 17,000 liters of milk<\/strong> per day.&nbsp;The goal for the herd is to have 600 lactating cows by the end of 2026. For the past six years, M\u00e1rcio has worked exclusively with ABS. In the beginning, he used to work with two or three different companies. Because of the quality of technical support they were receiving from ABS, they felt like the exclusive partnership could really help the farm profit from genetic progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Genetic Portfolio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prioritize solids, productive life, and yield<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cull animals that do not meet requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breed and raise all replacement females on farm\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No animal purchases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAfter working with ABS, we have significantly improved animal conformation, productivity, and reproduction. We used to have many problems with udders and feet, for example, and we solved those 100%. We went from an average of 28 liters of milk per cow to 43 liters. Our conception rate used to be around 28%, and now it is over 40%.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever the ABS team visits, M\u00e1rcio feels that what needs improvement is discussed, and that guides their work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/services\/geneadvance\/\">GENEAdvance<\/a>, with genomic testing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/roadmap-custom-index\/\">customized indexes<\/a>, has been very valuable. They rely on the data provided by those tools not only from a selection and culling perspective but also when they sell their genetics. So, the combination of all the tools and resources provided by ABS has contributed significantly to their progress. The decision to work exclusively with ABS has been a real turning point for them with a substantial gain. With the support of the ABS team, M\u00e1rcio has been able to achieve a lifelong dream and profit from genetic progress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-dairy-in-virginia\"><strong>A DAIRY IN VIRGINIA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dairy out of Virginia is truly profiting from genetic progress through a partnership with ABS. Since 2022, this dairy has been a GENEadvance herd, working closely with their ABS Genetic Advisor, Sarah Morton who has helped them develop their genetic breeding strategy and incorporate the use of sexed semen to create heifers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Herd<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Milking 1500 Holstein cows\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 times per day on a rotary parlor\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Raise all their heifers at home\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implementing a sexed and beef breeding strategy\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The farm, with support from ABS, took an aggressive approach to using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/why-genomic-test-your-heifer\/\">genomic testing<\/a> on the female and male breeding strategy, to create the right replacements by testing a large group of females for immediate impact on breeding decisions. Since 2022, they have continued testing heifers born on the farm and now, have <strong>over 80% of the whole herd tested.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To maximize their genomic results, emphasize female and male selection, and drive genetic progress, they utilized a Custom Index to tailor both selection indexes to their goal of creating productive and healthy cows that keep conformation in check. Sarah has provided them with genetic and reproductive progress reports while continuing to monitor for any changes that ensure their continual success. Today, they use their reports to <strong>handpick the best females from the entire herd<\/strong> rather than blanket selection of heifers versus 1st lactation cows to decide who gets sexed semen. There are some 3rd and 4th lactation animals that are still considered <strong>above the threshold to get sexed semen because of their high genetic quality!<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2025\/11\/boostProfit.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2025\/11\/boostProfit.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2025\/11\/boostProfit.webp?resize=300,187 300w, https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2025\/11\/boostProfit.webp?resize=768,478 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-healthy-cows-profitable-herds-with-geneadvance\"><strong>Healthy Cows, Profitable Herds with GENEadvance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On a recent farm visit, we asked one of the owners how GENEadvance has impacted their dairy.
