Genetic and genomic approaches for sustainable beef production
This report explores why genetic and genomic technologies in the Canadian beef industry are lagging behind other livestock sectors (like dairy) and international counterparts and identifies
opportunities to close that gap. The goal is to highlight strategic actions that can help Canada advance further as a sustainable, efficient, and profitable beef production system.
The need to optimize genetics is especially pressing in the context of increasing global pressures including rising demands for sustainability, shifting political landscapes, and rapidly advancing
technologies in data collection, biotechnology, and precision agriculture.
