Fauna Genetics NZ
New Zealand Holstein Friesian Genetics for Long-Term Heard Development.
FGNZ sources and supplies New Zealand Holstein Friesian genetics to dairy sectors across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), supporting long-term productivity, herd performance, and sustainable development.
About FGNZ
FGNZ is a New Zealand company focused on sourcing and supplying Holstein-Friesian genetics for dairy sectors seeking long-term productivity, herd performance and sustainable development.
Our focus is on identifying genetics suited to production environments characterised by intensive feeding systems, increasing production costs and seasonal heat stress challenges, which are common across many commercial dairy operations in the Middle East.
Drawing on New Zealand’s long history of dairy breeding and herd improvement, FGNZ focuses on genetics that support fertility, productive longevity, milk components, herd efficiency and the long-term sustainability of dairy production systems.
FGNZ recognises the importance of aligning genetic selection with the production environments in which those genetics are expected to perform. Through a focus on balanced herd performance and long-term productivity, the company aims to contribute to the continued development of the dairy sector and the future of sustainable milk production.

Our approach
FGNZ recognises that effective herd development extends beyond milk production alone. While production remains important, modern dairy systems increasingly prioritise fertility, longevity, feed efficiency, and consistent lifetime performance.

Accordingly, FGNZ focuses on genetics that enable balanced herd performance and sustainable productivity. This approach reflects the view that the most valuable genetics contribute to overall herd efficiency, resilience, and profitability – not just output.
