"How the goat industry can benefit from NSIP" is the title of a webinar given by Dr. Ken Andries on May 8. The webinar is part of an on-going 6-part series on the National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP).
NSIP is a genetic evaluation tool for sheep and goat producers. It calculates EBV's or "estimated breeding values." An EBV estimates the genetic worth of an animal.
