Ref: 48570 | Ashburton, Timaru, Waitaki | AB Technician | Entry | Fixed term |
Artificial Breeding (AB) technicians are responsible for one of the most important parts of any dairy farmer's seasonal focus - getting cows in-calf.
Each year our team of 900+ AB technicians complete around 4 million inseminations across New Zealand, ensuring the arrival of the next generation of dairy cows and adding value to the genetic improvement in our dairy sector.
Our AB technician training
We've been training AB technicians for more than 70 years and are proud of the comprehensive training course we provide.
Basic training consists of completing and passing the two-week training course.
If successful, you will then spend the year as an LIC apprentice, working alongside an experienced AB technician and required to submit and pass four national unit standards administered by Primary ITO (a nationally recognised training organisation).
On completing and passing all requirements of our 12-month apprentice programme, you will work on your own as a qualified LIC AB Technician the following year.
To train as an AB technician you must have:
The right to work in New Zealand
An affinity with animals
Good communication skills
A connection or interest in the dairy sector, with a customer focus
Basic computer literacy (e.g., can you operate a smartphone and iPad)
Strong attention to detail for accurate recording of breeding information
A valid driver's licence
The minimum height requirement to train is 160cm
Join us this season
If you're interested in joining our team and helping farmers breed better cows, please visit our Careers page and select the AB training technician role within your region.
Interviews will take place from late January following the busy AB season.
If you have any questions about your registration, please contact one of our ABOPs representatives on 027 665 9090.
Cost of training: The cost of training is $899.00 plus GST.
This covers your first week of training and we take care of the rest.
