Mark Waters, ICBF, gives a run through of why herds who are participating in the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP), should sign up to the recently reopened National Genotyping Programme (NGP).
Key benefit of joining the NGP
• Exclusive access to new double tissue tags so that ALL of your calves can be DNA sampled at birth.
• No more sampling with button tags – Labour Saving
• No more waiting for tags to arrive or rounding up of animals for tagging – Time Saving
• Much safer tagging newborn calves as opposed to older animals – Safer Practice
Other benefits
• All calves fully parentage verified before registration – this will remove the risk of parentage/sex errors and having to subsequently correct them.
• Animals receiving genomic evaluations soon after birth – this will ensure any breeding animals have genomic evaluations well before they are being selected/sold for breeding.
• Commercial Beef Value (CBV) – this will be available on mart screens for all genotyped weanlings and store cattle that are being traded.
