Summary
The CRC has developed methods to predict breeding value for economically important traits from DNA samples. These DNA tests are commercially available to cattle breeders and the results will be delivered to them as BREEDPLAN EBVs that include the DNA information and traditional performance data on the animal and its relatives. In this way cattle breeders will be able to select more accurately for most important traits.
