Farmer cooperative LIC is investing in two agritech businesses working to deliver more value to New Zealand dairy farmers.

The motivation of dairy farmers to create herds that are more efficient converters of feed-to-profit is long-held, but a balanced approach to breeding is paramount for optimal on-farm success.

Agritech has a vital role to play in the COVID-19 recovery, according to LIC chief executive Wayne McNee.

One of LIC’s longest-serving bulls has reached the achievement of selling one million semen straws, just in time for Father’s Day.

In what is a significant shift forward in the animal welfare space, dairy farmers are more focused than ever on reducing the number of bobby calves leaving their properties.

Farmer co-op LIC will pay $18 million in dividends to shareholders after a strong full-year result.

Winter may have just begun but most farmers are already looking ahead to the next season and the one beyond that.

LIC has launched a new tool to help dairy farmers reduce their environmental footprint.

A pilot trial has begun, seeking to understand a possible link between the methane cows produce and their genetics.

With winter around the corner, LIC says farm staff are busy tending to bulls to ensure they capture the vital semen needed for New Zealand’s dairy herd.
