VikingGenetics
The goal for VikingGenetics is to provide dairy farmers around the world with genetics that provide a balance between production and health, to ensure a successful future for the dairy business. That means `breeding for what truly matters`, a healthy, high-producing cow, the invisible cow that makes daily life as a dairy producer as easy as possible. Nordic countries are the pioneers in breeding for health, and we have been doing it since the 80`s.

You get fewer diseases for each generation so the investment will pay off more and more by each generation. The genetic improvement that you achieve with VikingGenetics' solutions is a permanent and desired improvement and cumulate through generations.
History
They understood the value of comparing results between each other, and to breed from their best cows. In 2008, the two Nordic cooperatively owned AI-companies, Svensk Avel and Dansire merged, and in 2010 the Finnish cooperative Faba joined. Before that, each country had worked on their own, but with the same goal, a productive and healthy cow.
