Improving Herd Performance: Thermo Fisher's Crucial Role in Ireland's Genotyping Program

Sean Coughlan, CEO of the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF), highlights how Thermo Fisher Scientific’s microarray technology supports genetic evaluations and data-driven improvements in dairy and beef herds, genotyping around 800,000 animals annually.

Reducing greenhouse emissions: genomic testing of every cow in Ireland

Dr. Andrew Cromie of the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation explains Ireland’s major project to breed animals that produce less methane which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions and how Axiom microarrays are playing a crucial part in it.

Enabling effective breeding programs with verified beef and dairy content

The Axiom Bovine v3 array that includes single-nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variants was specifically created for dairy evaluation, genomic selection, and parentage verification for routine use.
