Weekly Thursday Webinar Series Launches in November
|
|
PRO-DAIRY in partnership with DairyBusiness East is launching a weekly webinar series each Thursday from 1 to 2 pm EST. Registration is not required. Click on the Dairy Webinars section on PRO-DAIRY's website to join. A weekly schedule is also available online.
The first speaker on November 19 is:
- Heather J. Huson, PhD Cornell University Assistant Professor, Animal Geneticist
Her topic is: Genetics on the Farm
Genetic technology and research has advanced tremendously over the past few decades with the dairy cattle industry leading the genetic revolution for livestock. However, the abundance of information can be daunting to farmers who are the end users of genetic evaluations and health reports. Dr. Huson will provide an overview of the type of genetic data available and basic steps for understanding and applying genetic data in farm management.
