Holstud - ‘We embrace innovation to keep evolving and moving forward'

‘In the 1990s, I took over the business and further specialized our services in high-quality stallion and mare management’, tells Jorgen. ‘I thrive on agility and speed, which is why I handle everything myself - from semen collection to insemination, and from storage to global distribution of genetic material. For us, quality and reliable service for stallion and mare owners always come first. After all, we help them get the very best from their animals.’

Today, Holstud has evolved into an independent partner in the international breeding sector. With EU-certified facilities, a diverse stallion roster across multiple disciplines and breeds, specialist guidance, and a full-service offering with complete control over every step of the process, they are well-positioned for the future. 

A laboratory upgrade 

Jorgen firmly believes in embracing innovation to stay ahead. Quality demands renewal - especially when systems are no longer operating at their best. By continuously investing in new technologies and collaborative partnerships, Holstud maintains full control over its processes and its future. Recently, we were pleased to provide expert advice and upgrade their lab with advanced equipment and consumables. 

Holstud now utilizes:   

  • The IMV IRIS printer , ensuring 24/7 availability of semen straws; 
  • New liquid nitrogen and storage tanks from MVE for safe and secure storage; 
  • The Microptic CASA system for precise semen analysis and optimal quality control. 

‘In addition, NIFA supplies us with various consumables - not because we have to, but because it simply works: fast, flexible, and without hassle. A quick call or message is usually all it takes. That’s exactly how we serve our own clients as well.’ 

The NIFA-team extends heartfelt thanks to Holstud for their continued trust. We value the collaboration and are proud to support their work!

Biosecurity: your safety is important to us!

Why do we act like this?

This approach protects not only our stock but also our customers’ companies. We like to contribute to avoidance of outbreak and minimalize risks for the whole chain.

How do we archieve this?

To ensure the safety of you, your animals, and our products, we are implementing several concrete measures:

  • Safety zones in our warehouse
    Our warehouse is divided into 2 different zones. Deliveries or returns arrive in the first zone, not directly in the second zone (where safe stock is located).
  • Active surveillance of animal diseases
    When contagious animal diseases are reported in areas where our customers operate, we immediately adjust our logistics. We then ask transporters who physically visit farms to deliver outside the warehouse.
  • Strict visitor registration
    All visitors to our company must register in advance.
  • Pre-notification of pick-up orders
    Collection is only possible after registration and takes place outside the second zone.
  • Hygiene protocols for delivery
    During outbreaks, our delivery vehicle undergoes complete disinfection on every day of use. The driver adheres to established protocols and the vehicle remains outside the biosecure area.
  • We maintain direct lines of communication with veterinarians and actively monitor the NVWA website.
    This enables us to stay informed about emerging risks and respond with appropriate measures promptly.
