Join us for another exciting episode of "Genetics in the Paddock with Emily" as we welcome Dr. Sue Mortimer, a research scientist from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development. In this episode, we discuss how to find the balance between wool production and eating quality traits and some of her research findings in improving carcass traits in Merinos.
Sue takes us through the research findings from her extensive work done on eating quality in Merinos. We also discuss overall liking scores, different cuts of meat and some of the genetic relationships discovered when considering a dual purpose Merino.
Come along to hear Sue's discoveries on eating quality, how this work is being incorporated into indexes for producers to make selection decisions, and her thoughts on the future projecions. Whether you're a producer, a researcher, or simply want to know more about Sue's fantastic work, this episode is packed with knowledge you won't want to miss!
