Breeding Tools.
Farming animals has always been about making decisions to select which animal to breed from.
The tools to do this have, throughout history, been your eye. The eye is a good measure to start an assessment. It is though one persons opinion against another. You can't tell by looking if an animal's looks and performance are due to management or genetics. You can't see some things, like birth weight or feed efficiency, by looking at an animal in a field.
eye = good
We must improve our results. We can track our animals' traits by keeping careful breeding records. A computer database allows us to analyze these records with speed. With this data, we can select the best animals for our future needs.
eye + estimated breeding value = better
Stabiliser breeders use three key tools: visual inspection, mathematical calculations, and genomics. Genomics reveals the specific genes within each animal. This data refines our breeding values, creating a more accurate tool for selection. By using these genomic values, we make the most reliable breeding decisions possible.
eye + estimated breeding value + genomics= the best
Better tools help you make better decisions. These choices lead to better cattle. This increases your profits and helps the environment. The Stabiliser program delivers real results every time. We outpace our competition because we use smart technology to drive progress.
