DMI AND FCE WORKSHOP
RUMINANT FEED CONVERSION EFFICIENCY AND DRY MATTER INTAKE WORKSHOP
OCTOBER 28TH AND 29TH 2013, BUNDOORA, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA.
The meeting aims to facilitate exchange of information, discussion and collaboration between researchers working on Feed Conversion Efficiency (FCE) and Dry Matter Intake (DMI) traits in production ruminants.
The workshop will comprise a number of short presentations designed to facilitate discussion of various topics surrounding FCE and DMI, such as the links between physiology and genomic predictions, using multi-breed data and how best to move from research to farm gate profit. After a small number of talks a discussion workshop will be held to give all attendees the opportunity to converse and communicate their opinions and knowledge regarding the session topic.
The workshop will be held at Agribio (the Centre for AgriBioscience; Bundoora, Victoria, Australia) in the Victoria room. Starting time is 12 noon on Monday the 28th October and the finishing time is 1pm on the 29th of October. Lunch will be provided on both days.
