Evolving Excellence - Updating the Resource Flock with Dr. Sam Walkom
Join us in this enlightening episode of Genetics in the Paddock with Emily as we sit down with Dr. Sam Walkom, a senior research fellow at the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unite (AGBU). Together, we explore the essential task of updating the reference flock to align with industry standards and the dynamic landscape of the sheep genetics realm.
In the ever-evolving sheep industry, staying ahead means continuously expanding our understanding of genetics. Dr. Walkom shares his deep insights into the strategic process of updating the reference flock, ensuring it reflects the latest traits and encompasses the full spectrum of genetic potential available today.
We delve into the importance of this endeavour, discussing the role of cutting-edge technology, data analysis, and collaboration within the industry. Dr. Walkom provides a roadmap for capturing the richness of genetic diversity and incorporating new traits that not only keep your flock competitive but also contribute to the advancement of the entire sheep genetics sector.
Whether you're a seasoned producer or a curious newcomer, this episode offers invaluable insights into the meticulous planning and execution required to ensure the reference flock is a beacon of progress and innovation in the sheep industry.
AGBU is a joint venture between the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) and University of New England (UNE).
