B+LNZ provides trusted information about our sector and our farming businesses, and a range of interactive tools to help with planning and business decisions.
B+LNZ works to ensure our farmers receive increased value from our sustainable farming systems and natural grass-fed beef and lamb – we identify and create market opportunities, work to dismantle trade barriers and grow consumer preference for NZ beef and lamb.
B+LNZ works in areas that farmers can't individually, such as having a voice with government policymakers. We advocate for and tangibly influence policy development.
We invest in research that has longevity and ongoing benefit to farmers. Learn more about our completed projects and explore the practical tools and solutions available.
The aim of this project is to inform what influences farmers habits and decision making associated with parasite management, and how a farm system operates with reduced drench.
The aim of this study was to provide an understanding of introducing refugia into a lamb finishing operation that had a triple drench resistance issue.
This project investigated the potential effect of long-acting drench products on the rumen microbiome, the effect of parasites on ewe growth, Body Condition Score and fecundity over the summer-autumn period.
This project measured the concentrations of ivermectin (a macrocyclic lactone) reaching target cattle tissues (abomasum and small intestine) and the target parasites (Ostertagia and Cooperia) when given to cattle orally, by injection or pour-on.
