EU Breeding Sector

The EU Breeding Sector involves the production and development of high-quality breeding animals—such as cattle, pigs, and poultry—that are used to improve livestock genetics across Europe. This sector focuses on selecting animals with desirable traits to enhance productivity, health, and sustainability within the agricultural industry. It ensures reliable genetic progress, supports rural economies, and helps meet market demands for better breeding stock. The sector is regulated to maintain animal welfare standards, traceability, and biosecurity, contributing to a competitive and sustainable European livestock industry.
