The 2011 DNA Proven Teams will not receive progeny tests until 2014. This makes it hard to show how accurate their BWs are. To solve this we’ve used our genomic selection technology to calculate the BWs of three teams due for their first progeny tests later this season. As these teams’ progeny test data becomes available we will publish the results, proving within a matter of months just how accurate genomic evaluation is. For all the details see www.lic.co.nz.
