A profile of Spain”s dairy industry
Holstein World: What part of Spain do you live in? Is it a highly concentrated farming area? Are there many other Registered breeders in that part of the country?
Saul Dorado Rodriguez: We live in Galicia in the north of Spain. In our province (Lugo), there are 2,500 farms that register and control their animals. In Galicia, there are 4,500 farms registered in the genealogical book…almost half of Spain! Our zone is the cattle zone for excellence in Spain! Galicia is the region of the country that is most rapidly improving (as far as genetics) in the last few years, and it”s also the region where there”s a great opportunity to increase the animal market.
