Genetics is one of the most important strategic decisions in any livestock operation, but its economic impact is not always easy to assess. This course is designed to help managers and technical professionals understand how genetics and genomics directly influence system profitability.
Over two sessions, the course will cover the fundamentals of economic indexes, the practical use of genomics in decision-making, and the real financial impact of different selection strategies. Through examples and simulations of production systems, participants will learn how to interpret genetic information in economic terms and evaluate when and how to invest in genetics to maximize returns.
The objective is clear: to turn genetics into a management tool that enables safer, more profitable decisions tailored to each production system.
