The Genetics Behind the Microbiome: Predicting Performance with Microbes with Dr. Andrew Lakamp (Pt.2)
Join us for another deep-dive episode of Genetics in the Paddock with Emily, as we continue exploring one of the most exciting frontiers in livestock science: the microbiome. In Part 2, Emily is again joined by livestock geneticist Dr. Andrew (Drew) Lakamp to look beyond what the microbiome is and focus on what it can do for breeding decisions.
In this episode, we dig into how an animal’s genetics influence the microbes in their gut and eye, what “microbiome-mediated genetic effects” actually mean, and how genome + metagenome data could improve breeding value predictions.
We also unpack practical questions for industry: When should samples be collected? How do sequencing methods differ? And could microbiome data one day be incorporated into EBVs and selection indexes?
Whether you’re a producer, advisor, researcher, or simply curious about where the next decade of breeding innovation is heading, this episode offers a glimpse into the future of microbes as measurable, selectable traits.
