Episode Details

Let’s take a closer look at STgenetics®’ new laser-measured udder traits that are bringing even greater accuracy to the industry-leading Robotic Cow Index (RCI). Join Kevin Ziemba, Natalia Rodrigues, and Piush Khanal as they discuss these innovative new traits, their heritability, and how this selection can benefit not only robotic milking systems, but dairy operations as a whole. The conversation also dives into labor shortages, the growing need for more precise udder conformation data, and how technology is reshaping genetic selection on today’s dairy farms.
