Semex announce new genomic test to index for methane

We couldn’t discuss anything other than Semex conference this week so after Chris’ milk market report, Will and Ben are joined by Drew Sloan, Vice President in Corporate Development at Semex and Rose Jackson, Senior Consultant and Head of Genetics in Kite to do just this. Rose and Drew discuss the power of genetics to improve the environmental credential of the industry, even more so with the announcement from Semex regarding development of their genomic test to identify methane output, leading the way to low methane cows. They discuss how this will work in practice and what it could mean for the industry, looking ahead to create value for farmers in the future and what opportunities it creates for the wider sustainability agenda.Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been
