They have a conversation about the National Genotyping Programme.  The National Genotyping Programme is a collaborative initiative designed to enable Ireland to take the first step in achieving a fully genotyped national herd. The programme has been developed based on a cost-sharing model between the Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine, the beef & dairy industry & participating farmers.
Genotyping the national herd will provide a huge opportunity for the Dairy and Beef industry to increase its sustainability credentials on a global scale. Ireland will become the first country in the world to provide a DNA-verified traceability system. It will lead to an acceleration in the rates of gain of our national breeding indexes (e.g. EBI, Eurostar and DBI), which will enhance farm sustainability and reduce carbon emissions.
