CRV Ambreed moves into Canterbury research and innovation hub
A new satellite office at the AgResearch Lincoln Campus will create greater visibility in the South Island and better
linkages with likeminded partners in the dairy sector for CRV Ambreed.
Phil Beatson, research and development manager at CRV Ambreed says it’s important that the herd improvement company is
well-connected with farmers, the industry, the market, breeders, research partners and universities. Having a stronger
presence in Canterbury will enhance relationships with these groups.
“CRV Ambreed is always looking for new research opportunities as part of the ongoing development of our breeding
programme,” Beatson explains.
“Our presence at Lincoln has already started conversations with Lincoln University, DairyNZ, AgResearch and other
commercial companies about how we can work together.”
Collaboration has always been a foundation of CRV Ambreed’s research and development programme, and greater capacity and
capability in the South Island will make CRV Ambreed more accessible to its research partners.
In the end, Beatson says a stronger presence in Canterbury will further enhance CRV Ambreed’s genetics offering and
provide dairy farmers the best solutions to suit their individual farming operations, positioning them at the fore of
global dairy supply.
