Chile: Farmers In Southern Chile Are Adopting The Kiwi Cross Breed To Boost Their Sustainable Dairy Production.

Farmers in Osorno, Chile, adopt the Kiwi Cross breed to enhance sustainable dairy production on April 12, 2026. These New Zealand cows are known for their efficiency in grazing systems, with the Kiwi Cross hybrid breed, a cross between Holstein and Jersey, and the New Zealand Holstein-Friesian being notable. They are smaller, more fertile, longer-lived, and hardier, producing milk on a forage-based diet without confinement. (Photo by Fernando Lavoz/NurPhoto)
