Santa Gertrudis Beef Genomics Project
___________________________________________________

Genetic progress, a measure of improvement of an animals’ performance for a specific trait, is improved by the addition of genomic information to conventional breeding programmes. The resultant increase in animal production, coupled with rapidly decreasing costs for obtaining the genomic information for the animals, holds the promise of increased economic returns for the livestock farmers concerned; and a more competitive position for the country in the world market.
