"How NSIP can benefit the goat industry" is the title of a webinar to be held this Thursday (May 8), at 8 p.m. EST. The speaker will be Dr. Ken Andries from Kentucky State University.
NSIP is the acronym for the National Sheep Improvement Program. NSIP is a quantitative genetic selection tool for sheep and goat producers. In 2010, data processing was taken over by Australia's LambPlan/KidPlan.
In the first webinar (May 1), Dr. Robert Banks from the University of New England (in Australia) showed the phenomenal impact LambPlan has had on the Australian sheep industry.
