CLOSED FARM MODEL
Closed - synchronized - modern farm model
VACAMAXI farm located in Tan Linh, Ba Vi, Hanoi, is planned on an area of 39 ha, according to a closed and fully autonomous model.
The system includes:
Standard barns – Separate feed processing workshop
High-tech embryo production center – Office area, yard, ecological landscape area
Grass growing area – ensuring natural green food sources
FARM MODEL
The farm is well-invested, ensuring closed operations from breeding - feed - care - environmental treatment - product distribution.
The system is designed and operated under the supervision of an expert team, combining biotechnology with field experience to improve cow herd productivity and control uniform quality.

SPECIALIZED CARE AND NUTRITION REGIME
Each individual cow at VACAMAXI is cared for under a separate regime, depending on the stage of development. Feed is produced on site, controlling the mixing formula and nutrition.
The automated health monitoring process helps minimize risks, increase herd uniformity and maintain high standard meat quality.
BIOTECHNOLOGY
VACAMAXI pioneers the application of biotechnology in the entire breeding and livestock development process nationwide.
Our platform is a combination of genetic data, IVF techniques and high-standard herd management, helping to optimize success rates and breeding quality.
IVF – The choice solution of VACAMAXI
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): producing high-quality cattle embryos in the laboratory
At VACAMAXI, we don't just stop at "successful breeding". We actively control quality from the origin – from embryos
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
– also known as in vitro fertilization
– allowing the combination of eggs and sperm in the laboratory to create healthy embryos, selected and genetically tested before being transferred to surrogate cows.
Strengths of IVF
– Actively select the gender of calves right from the embryos
– DNA testing, eliminating bad genes
– Select individuals with outstanding potential
– Freely decide the timing of embryo transfer, suitable for herd planning
– Increase pregnancy rates and ensure herd uniformity
– Separate background surrogate cows and cows with high genetic value – optimizing economics
Why do we choose IVF?
IVF requires large investments in equipment, human resources and high technical processes, but this is the necessary way to create a uniform - healthy - high performance cow herd, serving the closed breeding, processing and commercial chain.
Development strategy from sex-selected embryo breeds
Embryo transfer into foundation cows to produce breeding cattle
– Develop a background cow herd with high genetic quality to improve reproduction yield
Target
– Application: Background cows of households, small and medium livestock farms.
Benefits:
– Create a generation of mother cows with outstanding genetic advantages, increasing the number of high-quality calves.
– Supply heifers to the market, ensuring a sustainable production chain.
– Help farmers improve economic value from selling calves or continuing breeding.
Embryo transfer into cows to develop premium beef cattle
– Produce beef cattle with rapid growth and outstanding meat quality in accordance with international standards
– Applicable targets: Large-scale beef cattle farms, cooperatives, and meat processing businesses.
Benefits:
– Create a fast-growing male cattle herd with a high meat yield, suitable for beef farming models.
– Meet market demand for premium beef, expanding export opportunities.
– Make maximum use of specialized feed to optimize meat quality and livestock productivity.
