About the Stud Stock Industry in Australia and New Zealand
Upholding Tradition, Building Brands
Meat Eating Quality
Feed Conversion Efficiency and Maternal Efficiency
Ram and bull breeders in Australia and New Zealand have a rich tradition of producing high-quality livestock that meets the evolving demands of the market. As the industry continues to adapt to changing consumer preferences and market signals, breeders must stay ahead of the curve by embracing new technologies, breeding strategies, and best practices.
While respecting the time honoured traditions of livestock breeding, progressive breeders recognise the significance of embracing modern technology to enhance their brand identity. By consistently offering superior genetics and maintaining rigorous quality standards, breeders can cultivate a distinguished reputation that not only commands premium prices but also nurtures enduring customer loyalty.
As the demand for high-quality meat products continues to rise, breeders are focusing on improving meat eating quality through selective breeding. This includes factors such as tenderness, flavour, and overall palatability.
Efficient feed conversion and maternal efficiency are critical factors in maximising profitability for livestock producers. By selecting for animals with superior feed conversion rates and maternal traits, breeders can optimise resource utilisation and increase the overall productivity of their operations.
