Estonian Animal Breeders’ Association: Genomic testing—the cattle breeding expressway to the elite genetics of the future

Programme

Future livestock farming is based on data, precision selection, and innovation. At the Estonian Agricultural Annual Exhibition EPA 2026, the Estonian Animal Breeders’ Association invites all dairy and beef cattle breeders to a seminar focusing on maximizing the herd’s genetic potential through modern genomic testing.

Every livestock breeder knows the moment a calf is born in the barn. Will it grow into the herd’s new top producer or a costly disappointment? In today’s competitive market, successful herd breeding cannot be left to chance. Genomic testing allows for the determination of a calf’s future potential at an early age, providing accurate data on health, productivity, and feed efficiency. Our practical seminar focuses on:

  • Beef Cattle: How to Select the Best Breeding Animals, Improve Carcass Quality, and Achieve Greater Efficiency in Grass-Based Production?

Don’t leave your farm’s future to a game of chance. Smart, data-driven production and genetic selection ensure long-term economic stability and future-proofing for your farm.

Lecturers: Jane Mättik and Maria Liisa Luur, beef cattle breeding specialists
