About this listen
Tracie guides us through some alternative methods to mulesing, focussing on genetic selection and speaks about the tools we currently have available. We also discuss the impact the environment has on the expression of breech strike and various indicator traits for breech strike.
Come along to hear Tracie's findings around breech strike resistance research and how we can incorporate various strategies into breeding programs. Whether you're a producer, a researcher, or simply want to know more about Tracie's work, this episode is packed with knowledge you won't want to miss!
