Summary
Why the work was done
Sheep Genetics Australia (SGA) objective is to achieve 'Genetic improvement for a sustainable and profitable Australian sheep industry facilitated by the world's best sheep genetic evaluation system'.
Customers of SGA need to have confidence in the genetic performance information being reported by SGA and breeders. To achieve this, an SGA quality assurance system is being established. The "SGA Breeder's Quality Assurance Manual" project would provide SGA ram breeders with a clear set of procedures to meet their component of the QA system.
What was achieved?
SGA Breeders' Quality Assurance Manual was published, presented and distributed at the launch of SGA. A high level of industry consultation has ensured a balanced and practical outcome.
The manual will underpin the quality of SGA breeding information and the confidence required for breeders – both ram and commercial flock - to use SGA and therefore the opportunity to maximise genetic improvement and profits of their flocks.
