The International Committee on Animal Recording is responsible for maintaining guidelines and standards for best practice in animal identification and recording and certifying equipment and processes used in animal identification, recording and genetic evaluations.  Prior to their annual conference there is a meeting of the Feed and Gas subgroup, which is interested in measuring feed intake and methane for genetic evaluation.   The group requested that we present.   I will present on the overall trial and future plans and Rhiannon Handcock (ROI request to follow) will present on the details of the genetic evaluation methods to date.   I have uploaded a pdf as I was having trouble getting the powerpoint file to upload.
