Three new Australian Breeding Indices… and one little YouTube clip

March 3, 2015 By Dairy Fertility Investigator 1 Comment

Some of you might remember ADHIS’ Longest Farm Walk last year, which toured 46 farms nationwide in search of farmer opinions. Maybe you’re even one of the farmers who attended these events and told ADHIS what you wanted to see in a new Australian index.

Have you been wondering what they did with all of that information?

Well, look no further! I’m happy to report that the wait is over. There are three new Australian Breeding Indices replacing the old Australian Profit Ranking (APR). It’s well worth checking out this 90 second video describing the changes:

It turns out that there are three different kinds of breeders, and no one index that can satisfy them all. So,  which one would you choose? Are you a staunch BPI-er, a trusty HWI-fan or a little bit TWI-mad?
