Proven New Zealand Genetics for Modern German Grazing Dairy Farms

The LIC Europe team is proud to bring our very best genetic offerings to German dairy farmers.

About us

LIC Europe, based in the United Kingdom, works closely with European partners such as STG Germany, alongside our New Zealand headquarters, to connect German dairy farmers with the best of New Zealand’s pasture‑based genetics. Together, we deliver genetics proven to perform, drive profit, and thrive in grazing dairy systems.

Germany and New Zealand share strong foundations in efficient, sustainable dairy production. Both countries operate within temperate climates that support productive grass growth, allowing pasture to form the basis of a dairy cow’s diet. German dairying places increasing emphasis on feed efficiency, fertility, animal health, and environmental responsibility—principles that strongly align with New Zealand’s pasture‑based breeding philosophy. A focus on high‑quality dairy products for both domestic consumption and export markets further connects the two industries.

These shared conditions create an ideal environment for New Zealand genetics to perform. LIC genetics are developed in pasture‑based systems and selected for fertility, efficiency, and longevity—supporting resilient, productive herds that fit well within German forage‑driven dairy systems.
