About us

LIC Europe, based in the United Kingdom, works closely with dairy farmers and industry partners across Spain, alongside our wider European distributor network and New Zealand headquarters. Through this collaboration, we connect Spanish dairy producers with proven New Zealand pasture based genetics that can support productivity, efficiency, and long-term herd performance across a range of farming systems.

Across Spain’s key dairy regions, farmers are increasingly focused on balancing production with efficiency, sustainability, and profitability. In Asturias, grazing continues to play an important role on smaller dairy farms and within the organic sector, where pasture utilisation and lower-input production systems remain highly valued. These farming environments share many similarities with New Zealand’s grass-based dairy model, creating opportunities for genetics that perform efficiently on forage-based diets while delivering strong milk solids production.

Neighbouring Galicia, Spain’s largest dairy region, is characterised by predominantly housed Holstein Friesian herds with a strong focus on milk volume production. As farmers look to further improve reproductive performance, feed efficiency, longevity, and overall profitability, there is growing interest in genetics that enhance functional traits alongside production. New Zealand Holstein Friesian genetics, developed within highly competitive pasture-based systems, are recognised for their fertility, durability, milk solids production, and ability to convert feed efficiently into profitable milk.

The shared focus on efficiency, sustainability, and farm profitability creates a strong connection between New Zealand and the dairy sectors of Asturias and Galicia. LIC genetics offer Spanish dairy farmers a proven option for building balanced, productive herds that combine performance with the functional traits needed to support long-term success.
