Dr Sam Clark, University of New England – ‘The power of efficient beef production’
Dr Sam Clark is an Associate Professor of Animal Breeding and Genetics at UNE. Sam has rapidly built an esteemed reputation in animal breeding and has become one of the most respected animal genetics researchers nationally. Sam’s expertise centres on the prediction of breeding values and the optimal use of information within animal breeding programs. He is currently involved in research projects regarding genetic evaluation and genomic selection in sheep, beef cattle, chickens and dairy cattle. These projects underpin the generation of reference datasets for key traits such as traits for productivity, meat quality, feed efficiency, methane outputs, animal health and welfare to underpin national genomic selection pipelines. At UNE he also plays a key role in teaching and mentoring up and coming PhD candidates as well as students in the Bachelor of Rural Science and Agricultural degrees.
The ‘Beyond the Beef’ Zoetis Angus National Conference, is set to take May 18th and 19th at The Event Centre, West Tamworth League Club, NSW and will include a pre conference tour on May 17th.
