Older genetics on the right, newer on the left. Breeding smaller, more efficient, more environmentaly friendly cows that are easier managed and more suited to our system. Using ICBF to improve our herd profile. Guess what?.....the smaller ones are producing more also. #EBI

“If governments judge pollution or footprint by counting animals then produce bigger animals so you get more output per single unit!” Peter Amer highlighting the stupidity of simplistic approaches taken by many administrations #WCGALP2022

Andrew Cromie from ICBF talking about their “green” breeding objectives in Ireland Always impressed by the progressive work that ICBF does at big scale (i.e. genotyping every animal, GHG phenotyping, etc). This is how you make genetic progress across the board! #WCGALP2022

In a world where >800 million people go to bed hungry nightly, where 2 in 5 kids born have arrested physical development due to inadequate nutrition and >3 billion people can’t afford a healthy balanced diet, we can be very proud of high quality low emissions food production.

We would encourage all dairy farmers to consider attending this event as these changes will have a major impact in how we as an industry, contribute to the reduction of global emissions.
