Genostar in Austria has developed into an international genetic hub: with the first Austrian sexing lab, modern production standards and calculated Holstein imports from the USA, the business is setting new standards for genetic progress.

Genostar Rinderbesamung

From regional cooperation to international genetic hub, Genostar has developed into Austriaโ€™s biggest AI stud in recent years. With modern infrastructure, the first Austrian sexing lab and a clear Holstein strategy, the company is confidently moving into the future.
