Frequently asked questions
What Origen Ganadero does, who it serves, and how El Salvador's cattle industry can move forward.
What is Origen Ganadero?
Origen Ganadero is an El Salvador based company rebuilding the national cattle industry. It acts as a connector and facilitator, bringing world-class genetics, technical assistance, and program leadership to ranchers, institutions, and the Ministry of Agriculture.
What services does Origen Ganadero offer?
Origen Ganadero supports the full cattle value chain: (1) genetics and reproduction, including elite U.S. genetics, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer; (2) ranch management and regenerative grazing; (3) meat processing; (4) value-added, whole-animal products; and (5) market and culinary development.
How can El Salvador improve its cattle genetics and herd productivity?
Herd productivity improves fastest by introducing proven genetics and modern reproduction. Origen Ganadero imports elite U.S. bloodlines suited to a tropical climate and runs artificial-insemination and embryo-transfer programs, so fertility, weight, and beef quality can improve within a few seasons rather than a generation.
