Join us for another very exciting episode of "Genetics in the Paddock with Emily" as we welcome Dr. Matt Wolcott (Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit) and Catriona Millen (Agricultural Business Research Institute) for a mythbusting episode. We discuss common misconceptions that arise when using the BREEDPLAN genetic evaluation service for beef cattle.
Matt and Catriona discuss several topics such as low heritability traits, low accuracy, cheating the system, breeding values being the only important factor and more.
Join us to hear more about these common misconceptions, and what the explanations behind this proven and powerful technology are. Whether you're a producer, a researcher, or simply want to know more about how we can use genetics to make improvements and selection decisions, this episode is packed with knowledge you won't want to miss!
