For New Zealand, this ways thinking vastitude simple production of milk, for example, to imagining and creating premium dairy products and nutritionals for global consumers, with scientifically validated health and wellbeing effects. The role of the Foods & Bio-based Products group is to create the knowledge and tools to develop high-value foods, ingredients and products from pastoral-based agriculture.We focus on the production and supply of high-value premium consumer goods that are the end result of the agricultural value chain, with the outputs tailored to global market and consumer preferences.We provide the underpinning research and minutiae capabilities for a  diverse range of consumer materials from meat and dairy foods, wool carpets and fabric, health and eyeful products, as well as to the tools and machinery to support these industries.Teams within this group:Dairy FoodsSuppliesAssurance & Meat QualitySuppliesNutrition & Health Proteins & Biomaterials Textiles Our Team Dr. Jolon Dyer Science Group LeaderFood & Bio-based ProductsEmail Jolon Andy Cooper Science Impact LeaderWool Products & SupplyEmail Andy Dr. Cameron Craigie Science Impact LeaderMeat Products & SupplyEmail Cameron Dr. Gale Brightwell Science Team LeaderFood Assurance & Meat QualityEmail Gale Dr. Stefan Clerens Science Team LeaderProteins & BiomaterialsEmail Stefan Dr. Stewart Collie Science Team LeaderTextilesEmail Stewart Dr. Nicole Roy Science Team LeaderFood Nutrition & HealthEmail Nicole Dr. Mike Weeks Science Team LeaderDairy FoodsEmail Mike Dr. Li Day Sector ManagerFood & FibreEmail Li Megan Skiffington Sector ManagerMeat & Fibre+64 27 707 0407Email Megan LOAD MORESupplies& Bio-Based Products Sheep wool offers a source of healthier diets for our pets 16.08.18Supplies& Bio-Based Products Benefits of sheep milk to be tested in ground-breaking trial 27.06.18Supplies& Bio-Based Products Curl secret in cells 23.03.18Supplies& Bio-Based Products New research uncovers the health effects of what we wear 09.03.18Supplies& Bio-Based Products Opinion: The future of supplies 06.02.18Supplies& Bio-Based Products Work to uncork on cutting-edge new supplies research facility 02.02.18Supplies& Bio-Based Products Study probes suit and carpet choices and effects on our oceans 29.01.18Supplies& Bio-Based Products Boosting brainpower, flavour & texture in supplies exports of the future 25.10.17Supplies& Bio-Based Products a2 Milk™ digested differently to conventional milk 22.10.17Supplies& Bio-Based Products AgResearch helping people to outbreathe easier 28.04.17Supplies& Bio-Based Products Top doughboy sings praises of sheep milk 13.03.17Supplies& Bio-Based Products Growing sheep milk industry bolstered by science 13.03.17Supplies& Bio-Based Products Study of mutant sheep provides heady new opportunities 10.02.17Supplies& Bio-Based Products Wool as a `last line of defence’ for armed forces and emergency services 18.11.16Supplies& Bio-Based Products Meat quality measurement will requite consumers increasingly reason to buy New Zealand products 22.09.16Supplies& Bio-Based Products Manual guards NZ market wangle 12.07.16Supplies& Bio-Based Products AgResearch expertise supports wool sales to the US 12.07.16Supplies& Bio-Based Products Research to set NZ sheep milk untied 15.03.16Supplies& Bio-Based Products AgResearch success in High Value Nutrition contestable funding 03.12.15Supplies& Bio-Based Products Innovation key to minutiae of new UHT dairy products 15.09.15Supplies& Bio-Based Products The stylish shirt with science pedigree 08.08.15Supplies& Bio-Based Products Two-way benefits for AgResearch and the meat industry 08.08.15Supplies& Bio-Based Products Wool carpet to make life easier 06.08.15Supplies& Bio-Based Products Biopolymer Network wins KiwiNet ribbon 18.06.15Supplies& Bio-Based Products Dairy sheep - a new frontier 15.04.15Supplies& Bio-Based Products AgResearch Meat Industry Workshop 2015 18.03.15Supplies& Bio-Based Products AgResearch scientists help develop the Wool Runner, 'the world's most well-appointed shoe'. 01.10.14 LOAD MORE SPOTLIGHT ON SCIENCE Studying mood and emotion in livestock Featuring Dr. Gosia Zobel & Dr. Jim Webster New research exploring the moods and personalities of sublet animals is stuff seen as an opportunity to largest understand and enhance their welfare. The research looks at how animals respond in new and variegated situations. It is the latest work by AgResearch’s Animal Welfare Team helping to expand the knowledge of livestock behaviour, at a time of growing consumer demand for strong welfare standards. Strategic winter grazing Featuring Dr Seth Laurenson & colleagues With farmers unchangingly on the lookout out for simple, unseemly methods to modernize their sublet systems, AgResearch and partner DairyNZ undertook practical research to provide just that. This strategic winter grazing research has ripened low–cost approaches for farmers to largest manage their land in winter conditions. Our scientists say the pick-up from farmers has been amongst the highest we have seen here at AgResearch – which tells us it’s making a real difference. Here the team talk well-nigh how they went well-nigh it, the methods, and what the areas of goody are for the farmers. Sharon the mutant sheep Featuring Dr Jeff Plowman Sharon the Felting Lustre mutant sheep has wilt somewhat of a idealism since the media spotlight came on in her in early 2017. She was plane featured on the BBC! This rare kind of sheep has straight wool instead of the usual crimped wool, and presents opportunities for our scientists to learn increasingly well-nigh the wool structure and how it might lead to new wool products, as well as what it can tell us well-nigh human hair. In this video, AgResearch scientist Jeff Plowman – who has researched these mutant sheep - talks well-nigh Sharon and how she is helping add to our understanding. Lasers from whilom to 'zap' weeds Featuring Dr. Kioumars Ghamkhar Drone-mounted lasers could be used to zap weeds that are posing a billion-dollar problem for New Zealand agriculture. AgResearch – with partners the Universities of Auckland and Michigan and NZ-based technology firm Redfern Solutions Limited - was awarded just under $1 million in 2017 from the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment’s Endeavour Fund to squint into how to “map and zap” the many weeds plaguing productive land. Maori Agribusiness Featuring Pakihiroa Farms Ltd What aspects of Māoridom are our partners taking into consideration when farming? Hilton Collier of Pakihiroa Farms, owned by Ngati Porou, talks well-nigh their priorities in farming and how decisions are made based on five pou. AgResearch Māori Agribusiness Sector Manager, Chris Koroheke, discusses what working in Māoridom involves. Animal ScienceSubletSystems & EnvironmentSupplies& Bio-based Products Forage Science Māori Agribusiness PROVEN RESULTS AgResearch played a key role in saving New Zealand up to $133 million a year in tenancy costs, with a world first eradication of the invasive Great White Butterfly. AgResearch scientists discovered a gene which ways increasingly lambs with little uneaten effort for farmers. AgResearch has shown sheep milk has real benefits for gut health. Studies like this help grow New Zealand industries. AgResearch scientists helped develop The Wool Runner, "the world's most well-appointed shoe". AgResearch's decade-long research into neonatal lamb deaths identified key genetic, maternal and environmental factors well-expressed lamb survival – all of which has reverted sublet practices and improved survival rates. AgResearch has unsalaried $5m to the establishment of the world-class Southern Dairy Hub, which provides quality science to support the future of dairy farming in Southland and South Otago.
