Last week, the Embryo Day online event, promoted by Esperança Farm in Alegrete (RS), attracted nearly a thousand Internet users from 14 Brazilian states, in addition to viewers from the United States, Colombia and Argentina. The event highlighted the importance of embryo transfer technology in the democratization of Braford genetics, a significant advance for Brazilian livestock.
Raphael Houayek, CEO of Fazenda Esperança, highlighted the growing demand for Braford genetics, with a 39% increase in the number of animals registered with the Brazilian Association of Hereford and Braford during the first half of 2023 compared to the previous year. Houayek emphasized that embryo transfer is an opportunity to accelerate this progress, allowing ranchers to have bulls available for sale in 2025, when the cattle market is at its highest.

The central objective of Embryo Day was to show that cattle ranchers of all sizes can take advantage of technology to improve the herd’s genetics. Raphael Houayek emphasized the desire to democratize knowledge and information about this biotechnology, seeking to involve other ranchers who have not yet adhered to this practice. The manager of Fazenda Esperança, Paulo Costa, highlighted the importance of vision and belief in the project to achieve the impressive results that the farm has achieved.
race expansion
In addition to the favorable financial aspect, Fazenda Esperança has shown remarkable results by winning more than 40 awards in various contests and competitions in recent seasons. Houayek also pointed to the expansion of the Braford breed across the country and growing acceptance in trials, further cementing the importance of embryo transfer technology.
Veterinarian Alexandre Vargas, from Pró Fertil, spoke about the importance of the conditions of the recipients for the success of embryo transfers. He emphasized that it is best to work with recipients who have just calved, who are gaining weight and with calves, to increase the chances of success.
Engagement of those involved
Bernardo Franciosi, director of Reprovet, pointed out that the success of embryo transfers depends on the participation of everyone involved, especially the rancher. He highlighted the importance of the quality of the embryos, but also stressed the importance of ownership, care for the health of the animals and proper nutrition.
It is important to emphasize that Fazenda Esperança does not only sell embryos, but offers guaranteed pregnancies, which is a differential that places it at a high level in the market. This approach provides peace of mind for buyers interested in purchasing high quality Braford genetics.
embryo auction
In this edition of Embryo Day, the event had a different dynamic, focusing on showing the reality of embryo transfer technology to promote the Embryo Auction, scheduled for August 17th. Raphael Houayek explained the commercialization format of embryos, through pregnancies delivered in genetic combos. These mating packs are defined by the buyer and can be stored and used in other breeding stations. There was also differentiation in terms of payment and discounts for cash payments, making the auction more attractive to buyers.
