Last updated: April 2026 dataBovine semen — split in the US schedule between dairy (0511100010) and non-dairy (0511100090) lines — is a high-value genetic input for commercial cattle breeding and herd improvement programs. USDA APHIS regulates importation through strict disease-risk protocols, including requirements for approved collection centers and health certification tied to the exporting country's disease status. Canada and France are the leading suppliers, reflecting the strength of North American dairy genetics and European beef and dual-purpose breeds respectively. Denmark and the Netherlands also appear among top sources, consistent with their globally recognized Holstein and other dairy breed programs.
