Summary
The original aim of the Sire Identification subproject was to evaluate the alternative techniques for identifying progeny of different sires. The commercial use of various alternatives will be dependent on the accuracy of the technique and the cost of implementation. High accuracy is attainable with all techniques provided certain guidelines are observed. The most costly technique - DNA typing - is currently cost efficient only in stud cattle breeding situations, but is likely to become much more attractive ifdemand is sufficient.
