Gertrudis Beef Genomics Project
___________________________________________________
Genetic progress, a measure of
improvement of an animals’ performance for a specific trait,
is improved by the addition of genomic information to
conventional breeding programmes. The resultant increase in
animal production, coupled with rapidly decreasing costs for
obtaining the genomic information for the animals, holds the
promise of increased economic returns for the livestock
farmers concerned; and a more competitive position for the
country in the world market. |
