Pasture‑Based Genetics for Argentinian Grazing Systems

The LIC International team is proud to bring our very best genetic offerings to Argentinian dairy farmers.

About us

LIC International, based at our New Zealand headquarters, works alongside trusted global partners such as South America‑based Gensur to connect Argentinian dairy farmers with the best of New Zealand’s pasture‑based genetics. Our partnership with Gensur has been in place since 2008, reflecting a long‑term commitment to supporting genetic progress within the Argentine dairy industry.

With a strong presence across Argentina, Gensur offers LIC genetics alongside a range of complementary products aimed at improving herd performance and supporting the long‑term livelihoods of dairy farmers. Together, we help farmers build productive, resilient herds that perform in grass‑fed systems and remain competitive in a global dairy market.

Argentina has a strong heritage of pasture‑based dairy farming, with grazing playing a central role in many production systems. Supported by fertile soils, temperate climates across key dairy regions, and a focus on efficient grass utilisation, Argentinian dairy farmers have long prioritised cost‑effective milk production, herd fertility, and lifetime cow performance.

These system fundamentals closely align with New Zealand’s pasture‑based dairy model. New Zealand genetics are developed in environments where cows must efficiently convert grass into milk while maintaining fertility, robustness, and durability—traits that translate naturally into Argentinian grazing systems.
