Update: 2023-11-12
Description
On this episode of Genetics in the Paddock with Emily, we continue to dive into how researchers have continued to work with industry to develop new traits. In this episode, our guest speaker Dr. Daniel Brown, a principal scientist from the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), discusses how the development of new traits within the sheep genetics evaluation system has continued to drive the industry forward over his 25 years of experience.
The incorporation of the breech wrinkle trait into the sheep genetics evaluation system has been a pivotal collaborative issue to address welfare issues in the industry. Join us as we dive deep into the history of development of these traits, and how Dr. Brown has worked collaboratively with researchers and industry to produce breeding values, along with providing tools and options to achieve a balanced selection.
AGBU is a joint venture between the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and University of New England (UNE).
