Italian Brown
Casein, longevity and functionality are the keywords that characterize the breeding of the Italian Brown. The Italian Brown Breed distinguishes itself by its quality productions. Quality means that its milk contents are in ideal proportion, that milk quality and milk quantity are well balanced, that its k-casein BB content is high and its somatic cell count is low. All this makes its milk especially suitable for cheese production. The Italian Brown is noted for its longevity, functionality, adaptability, calving ease, strength, disease resistance and docility.
At the top of international rankings, the Italian selection of the Brown Breed is increasingly in demand worldwide because it offers a wide choice of new sires’ lines. Italy offers not only semen from top quality sires, but also sexed semen, embryos and living animals.
