Webinar - Dairy Genomics - The Challenges & Changes

ICBF's Kevin Downing is joined by Professor Donagh Berry, head of quantitative genetics at Teagasc and Dr. Ross Evans who manages the genetics team within ICBF to discuss some of the challenges and changes coming around dairy genomics. Genomics essentially is a tool that allows us to more accuretly predict an animal's performance at an earlier stage. So, it is like adding more pieces to an incomplete jigsaw. While there are many benefits to genotyping and genomics, there are also plenty of challenges. Here, we discuss one of these challenges revolving around prediction bias, how it is effecting the EBI and we also outline the planned changes being implemented to next October's proof run to correct this bias.  Music - www.bensound.com
