Goat Series: EP 5 - Genetic selection of goats using data - with Dr. Tom Granleese

With rising cost of production and increasing land values, the cost price squeeze is continuing in agriculture. There is pressure to increase productivity and profitability within all livestock industries and breeding and genetics is one way to improve this. In this episode, we hear from Dr. Tom Granleese, a research officer in quantitative genetics with the NSW Department of Primary Industries. Tom is the project lead for the Measured Goats project, which is likely to become the largest goat genetics project in the world. Join our host Kieran Smith in this episode as we learn about the project, how to set breeding objectives in a commercial goat enterprise, as well as breeding your own bucks on-farm.

Thank you to our guest featured in this episode:
