The Hawke’s Bay Farm Using Technology To Speed Up Genetic Improvement
person found this useful
This On Farm Story video from AgriHQ follows the Absolom family, who have farmed in Hawke's Bay since the late 1860s and now use feed-intake data from GrowSafe Systems technology to track feed efficiency and sharpen genetic selection in their cattle.
Daniel Absolom and his brothers explain how the data helps them breed animals that produce less methane while staying productive, as they plan to keep the farm in the family for another century.
