Australian beef DNA results
Australian beef DNA results - Beef CRC - Beef Genetic Technologies
| As part of its role in delivering DNA markers to the Australian beef industry, Beef CRC has agreed to independently test new panels of DNA markers as they are commercialised by companies such as Pfizer Animal Genetics, Igenity /Merial and Metamorphix Inc. Results of all independent testing of commercially-available DNA markers undertaken by Beef CRC will be presented on this site, outlining the size and direction of effect and the amount of genetic variation that is accounted for by each panel of markers for the different traits (e.g. marbling, feed efficiency, tenderness etc). Additional information is provided to help beef businesses interpret the results for themselves to determine the value to their own businesses from an investment in the particular panel of DNA markers. Those decisions very much depend on the individual business' attitude to risk and can only be made effectively by the individual business. It is possible that the panel of markers has also been independently evaluated in North American herds by the US National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium, so for further information on the size and direction of effect of the markers in those populations, please visit http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/nbcec/ |
