Still time to register now at: www.teagasc.ie/sheepcon21. The study of genes and genetic variation, is a powerful tool at the disposal of farmers to identify the genetically elite animals to be the parents of the next generation.

According to Penn State researchers, a new study of around 20 years of satellite data demonstrates that quality of air, fossil-fuel combustion, and economic growth are closely related on the national and continental levels, but can be decoupled nationally. We know air pollution and economic development are linked, but we want to know how tightly and whether our actions can change this. We found they are not inherently bonded and can be decoupled under favorable policies.

New Zealand influence Tonight’s session hosted by Michael Gottstein, Head of Sheep Knowledge Transfer, Teagasc, will deliver a strong New Zealand influence as Teagasc Walsh Scholar Nicola Fetherstone provides an update on the INZAC trial in Athenry which compares one-star and five-star Irish ewes with elite New Zealand ewes. Nicola’s studies has involved not only the collection and analysis of a vast amount of data on the INZAC flock including reproductive, lambing, ewe and lamb growth, performance and productivity, but also allowed her to travel to New Zealand for a three-month period to link up with agri-consultancy firm AbacusBio and increase her knowledge in the area of New Zealand
