Genetics play a vital role in our industry and Mark Ferguson is leading a team at neXtgen Agri that aims to bring genes to life.

A self-confessed sheep tragic, originally from across the ditch, Mark first came to New Zealand almost a decade ago after successfully pitching for a merino genetics review for the New Zealand Merino Company.

He says it was a pivotal moment writing the application, as it led to him moving to New Zealand to run the production science component of a Primary Growth Partnership for the company.

At neXtgen Agri, the focus is on the pastoral livestock industries. It is a consulting and innovation business, predominantly genetics consulting, helping sheep and beef breeders breed and buy the best animals.
