Livestock - BEEFGEN

Global Livestock

To meet the high standards required for live export, Whangara Global Livestock works with breeding associations to inspect the animals in Pre-Export Isolation. To be approved for export, animals must be free from deformities in feet, joints or jaws, and have a good leg and shoulder structure, a healthy sheath and reproductive organs, as well as a good temperament and other traits.

LEADING BREEDS TO MEET OVERSEAS DEMAND

HOLSTEIN

Holstein are New Zealand’s highest-production dairy animals. They have proved themselves adaptable to a wide range of environmental conditions worldwide, and this trait has created an export market for our New Zealand Holstein Friesian genetics.

ANGUS

Angus is New Zealand’s largest and leading beef breed. Angus Cattle are extremely adaptable to the environmental changes, resilient and efficient

SIMMENTAL

Simmental is an extremely popular breed worldwide because of its adaptability, large-muscled frame, quick growth and high beef yields.

HEREFORD

Hereford, the second-largest beef breed in New Zealand, is widely used for meat production in many countries. Hereford animals mature early and have high performance on forage-based diets. They adapt easily and thrive in a wide variety of conditions.

EAST FRIESIAN

East Friesian is the predominant sheep-milking animal in New Zealand. Originally established in France, the genetics in NZ have been much improved in recent years through the importation of high-quality semen.

SAANEN GOAT

The Saanen are the most productive milking goats in New Zealand and the rest of the world. Average milk yield is 838 kg in a lactation of 264 days.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Animal welfare is the guiding principle on which we operate. BEEFGEN complies with the highest standards of animal welfare, both local and international (NZ Animal Welfare Act 1999, OIE Terrestrial Code).

BIOSECURITY

We take biosecurity seriously both on our farms and during live animal export. We also have biosecurity, cleanliness, and hygienic practice protocols in place when we visit our client’s farms. Furthermore, all animals for overseas export also pass through Government-approved quarantine facilities.

NEW ZEALAND FARMING INDUSTRY

New Zealand at present farms around 27.5 million sheep, 6.6 million dairy and 3.6 million beef cattle. Whangara Global Livestock works with New Zealand farmers to supply higher value breeding animals worldwide, dealing with registered farms, meaning we are supplying the finest breeding animals.
