For growth traits (live weights, birth, weaning, yearling etc) which involve animal handling requires equipment (weigh scales), infrastructure (crushes) and concerted human effort especially with beef animals which tend to become restless when handled. The cattle owners need to see the value…[Read more]

My take is that genomic tools are not a silver bullet. Therefore for any livestock improvement effort to bear fruit requires that the basics need to be in place i.e. the…[Read more]
