AFBI’s Role in Livestock Genetic Advancement Precision Technologies High quality and robust phenotype records Capture of difficult to measure traits Better understanding of the G+E effects New marker discovery and validation Metadata systems – BovIS, PigIS OvIs

The BovIS Suite of Online Applications

Integrated Supply Chain Data AFBI developed BovIS by harnessing the power of supply chain data to produce novel online tools Informed breeding Informed management Informed marketing Improved product Enhanced sustainability DNA traceability, parentage, origin

Presenting herd number APHIS Data Animal tag number Abattoir code Kill number Kill date Sex Breed Colour Dam tag number Dam breed Sire tag number Sire breed Date of birth Dam date of birth Breed category Presenting herd number Slaughter Data Animal tag number Abattoir code Kill number Kill date Class code Conformation grade Fat class Hot weight Cold weight Condemned weight Log ID > 4 million carcass records 90% of all animals slaughtered captured Online producer tools Carcass benchmarking Greenhouse gas calculator Growth monitoring tool
