As a partner in goat genetics developed by Capgènes, AURIVA and its member cooperatives mainly distribute insemination doses of the French Alpine and Saanen breeds, and account for around 35% of national goat insemination.
Renowned for the quality of their milk, the 2 breeds are also characterized by their ability to adapt to different territories, farming methods and climates.
Hardy, the Alpine is particularly present in Savoie, but represents 55% of females submitted to milk recording in France, and is able to acclimatize to a wide range of systems. Like the Alpine, the Saanen, a worldwide breed, is adaptable and has an excellent temperament, with performances (milk and morphology) that have been greatly improved by genetics and selection over the last few years.
