The New Zealand dairy farming industry has been a world-leader in innovation and maximising farm profits for decades and LIC Australia is bringing these opportunities to you.
In an increasingly competitive dairy landscape, genetics is one of the most powerful levers a farmer can pull to lift productivity, strengthen resilience, and improve profitability.
The efficiency and profitability of New Zealand dairy cows has continuously improved. The average cow today produces 81% of its own liveweight in milksolids, compared 55% in the early 1990s.
We’re engaged in a range of research and development projects to help keep farmers and their businesses at the forefront of the global dairy industry.
LIC’s Sire Proving Scheme is a rigorous, four-year breeding programme that has been producing genetically superior bulls for artificial insemination since 1961. Today it is one of the largest of its kind in the world.
NZ Animal Evaluation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dairy NZ, manages animal evaluation for the NZ dairy industry. At LIC Australia we utilise this dairy animal evaluation system to help Australian farmers maximise genetic gain on farm.
