新西兰诞生了第一个合成小牛群,这是为改进牛肉和可持续性而交叉繁殖的,预计到2027年将有更多的幼崽。 New Zealand's first Synergizer calves, a crossbreed for better beef and sustainability, have been born, with wider availability expected by 2027.

由Pāmu和LIC在新西兰开发的一家新的奶牛与牛肉交叉体(Synergizer chilves)首次在Taupí附近出生,结合了Nebraskan稳定剂和法国Charolais遗传学。 The first Synergizer calves, a new dairy-beef crossbreed developed by Pāmu and LIC in New Zealand, have been born near Taupō, combining Nebraskan Stabilizer and French Charolais genetics. 该品种的设计是为了缩短妊娠期、更容易切除、强劲增长和高肉质,其目的是提高整个奶牛-牛肉供应链的可持续性和盈利能力。 Designed for shorter gestation, easier calving, strong growth, and high meat quality, the breed aims to boost sustainability and profitability across the dairy-beef supply chain. 今年大约出生了350头小牛,从2026年春季开始,有有限的冷冻精液可供使用,预计到2027年可以更广泛地获得。 Around 350 first-cross calves were born this year, with limited frozen semen available from spring 2026 and broader access expected by 2027. 该项目得到研究和后代测试的支持,得到一份拉博银行报告的支持,该报告估计了新西兰奶牛部门的年度价值超过12亿美元。 The project is backed by research and progeny testing, supported by a Rabobank report estimating the annual value of New Zealand’s dairy-beef sector exceeds $1.2 billion.
