Genomic Selection-New Technology in the Dairy Industry. The Science Squad

Description

Genomic Selection is a new technology that helps the dairy industry evaluate calves on the basis of their DNA profile, allowing breeders to predict, among other things, which animals are going to give higher milk yields in a much shorter time period than previous methods. After the United States, Ireland is only the second country in the world to introduce it. This program highlights methods that have been developed by Irish scientists that use a lower cost technology with minimal compromise in accuracy.
