At Fazenda Petrópolis in Franca, Brazil, daily operations have always run with an eye on the future. What began as a family-led operation producing 1,200 liters of milk per day in 1988 has become a high-performing dairy business producing approximately 31,000 liters per day today, with an ambition to nearly double that volume within the next five years.
To support that next chapter, Fazenda Petrópolis partnered with ABS through the GENEAdvance Program, a data-driven solution that aligns breeding decisions with long-term business goals. Combining genomic insight, customized genetic selection and expert advisory support, the program is helping the farm build a healthier, more productive herd for sustainable expansion.
Better breeding decisions are helping Fazenda Petrópolis improve herd quality, increase confidence in replacement planning and make the most of investments in new facilities. And with Sexcel® sexed genetics, the farm can also produce more replacement females to support growth while maintaining genetic progress across future generations.
