| Abstract |
ABRI provides the BREEDPLAN® genetic evaluation service to both Australian and international clients, and so represents the most widely used genetic evaluation service for beef cattle internationally. Approximately 63 separate BREEDPLAN evaluations have been developed, representing over 40 million animals, almost 40 beef cattle breeds and at least 100 breed associations distributed across 14 countries. This paper provides an overview of current initiatives and developments being undertaken by ABRI regarding multi-country and multi-breed BREEDPLAN evaluations. |
