Since 1974 on breeders side

Intermizoo is an Italian A.I. Company working since 1974 in animal genetic field.
The Company born with the aim of merging the Regional structure in a single and more efficient system. The legal head office is in Padua, while the A.I. Station and the production facility are in Brussa Caorle, inside in a natural oasis of the Venice lagoon.

In more than 40 years of activities, the aim of Intermizoo is to increase the efficiency of dairy herd thanks to the genetic way.
