Your hosts Andrew Jones & Sarah Bolt, based in the South West of England, are this time joined by Neil Greggor, Solutions Manager at Viking Genetics UK.
As Neil's background is familiar to our regular listeners he gives us a brief overview of his career before we move to our main topic of this podcast.
Using data to make your breeding decisions.
Neil discusses how it doesn't matter your type of system, your type of cow, using all the data you have available, be it pedigrees, milk recording or genomic, it all helps you make better decisions in the choices you make when breeding the replacements for your herd.
Part of our discussion on genomic data also includes how close we are to having a reliable genomic test for non pure bred cows.
This was recorded in August 2023 and all information was correct at the time of recording.
