Validation
Breeding decisions matter. Bull and heifer selection decisions change the nature of a herd, so it is important that the Australian Breeding Values (ABV) and indexes used to make decisions are validated. DataGene, with its research partners, regularly conduct investigations to test that ABVs continue to work well in Australia’s diverse dairying environments.

Health data for healthy cows
This project provided the foundation for the future development of new health-related Australian breeding values.
