Dairy genetics company Ambreed celebrated 40 years of business in NZ last week by signing a collaborative agreement with AgResearch and launching a new name now CRV AmBreed reports The Waikato Times. The agreement promises co-operation between CRV Holding, parent company of NZ's CRV AmBreed, and AgResearch on new science projects that will benefit NZ farmers. In one of the first joint projects, AgResearch scientists will be involved in the genomic selection of future dairy sires marketed by CRV AmBreed and will play a part in DNA typing. A number of further projects are under review with AgResearch. CRV Holding CEO Roald Van Noort praised the agreement. "CRV is a global company and wants to work with the very best research groups around the world. NZ is a leading dairy country with excellent scientific capabilities and we want to be involved in that." AgResearch CEO Andrew West said he was pleased to work with CRV on projects that would make a real difference to the NZ dairy industry."Continual improvement in developing ever-better products and methods is essential to keeping us at the top of our game," he said. "Partnerships such as this between business and research institutes will do just that."
