An opportunity to sit down with an ABRI Extension Services team member for a deep-dive into the genetic progress of your herd
A herd consultation with an ABRI Extension Services team member provides BREEDPLAN members with an opportunity to discuss:
- Levels of performance recording in their herd. This includes advice on how to record traits that are not currently being recorded in the herd and/or identification of missing performance data.
- The genetic progress of their herd. This includes an assessment of the current genetic position of the herd and the drivers that influence genetic improvement.
- Questions regarding BREEDPLAN and related genetic technologies. For example, advice on when to use breeder-assigned management groups or queries regarding a specific animal.
LENGTH
While herd consultations vary in length depending on the depth of discussion, the typical herd consultation takes between 2-3 hours.
AVAILABILITY
Herd consultations can be conducted for BREEDPLAN members located around Australia. The team aims to deliver in-person herd consultations if already in a nearby vicinity (e.g. travelling for a workshop); alternatively, herd consultations will be offered electronically.
BREEDPLAN members who are based outside Australia and who would like a herd consultation should contact the team to discuss this possibility. Please note that herd consultations for international BREEDPLAN members will be offered electronically.
Please note that charges may apply.
