The Measured Goats project, funded by Meat & Livestock Australia and the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, is delivering modern genetic tools for the goatmeat industry. The project has seen a successful first kidding with 1,599 goats weaned in November. The kids' performance, pedigree, and genomic records are being collected to boost the availability and accuracy of KIDPLAN Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs). The project is also evaluating the kids for various traits linked to profitability and animal welfare. All female kids will become part of the research herd until the project concludes in 2027, while male kids will be castrated and marketed. The full results from the first joining will be delivered in February 2025. Producers are encouraged to get involved to benefit their businesses.
