Implementing & Optimising Genomic Prediction Tools
About
The aim of this Integrated R&D Producer Demonstration Site (PDS) project is to demonstrate and identify clear pathways for commercial Merino sheep producers to utilise a single or combination of current and emerging genetic and genomic tools in their ewe and ram selections to successfully improve genetic gain.Agenda: Presented by Sheep Genetics and SheepMetriX
- Evolution of Genomic Only Breeding Values (gBV), how other industries have been using them
- Understanding the genomic reference population
- Where gBVs fit into the current genomic tool kit
- Why you can take a DNA sample and get a gBV but not an ASBV
- How the gBVs have been used to date
- Case Studies
- Producer overview
- Inspection of sheep in project
