Collaboration Targets Improved Pasture Performance
Fonterra and BioLumic have partnered to develop light-activated seed traits for New Zealand dairy systems.
BioLumic, a pioneer in seed trait innovation, will work with global dairy co-op Fonterra to create a new category of seed traits for pasture-based dairy systems. These traits will program the plant's genetic expression without altering its genetics.
- Improve the productivity of ryegrass
- Enhance the resilience of ryegrass
- Start implementation in New Zealand
"This partnership signals a new era for forage innovation to supercharge pasture-based dairy systems," said Jeremy Hill, chief science and technology officer at Fonterra.
Together, BioLumic and Fonterra aim to set a new standard for forage performance, unlocking greater productivity with scalable technology.
