Brazilian Delegation Visit ABRI
Earlier this month, ABRI was visited by a Brazilian delegation of breeders, vets and other beef industry personnel who are currently doing a tour of Australia and New Zealand. We enjoyed speaking to the group about ABRI’s products and services, including the BREEDPLAN genetic evaluation. We spent most of the 1.5 hour visit discussing the use of genomic (DNA) information as an additional source of information in the BREEDPLAN genetic evaluation and exploring opportunities for multi-country and/or multi-breed BREEDPLAN evaluations going forward.
We very much appreciate the group making time to visit ABRI on their action-packed tour. A special thanks to the wonderful translator who was kept busy translating quite technical English into quite technical Brazilian Portuguese!
