DairyTalk 549: DNA Predicts Potential - Pedigrees Prove Reliability: Finding the Right Balance - by Helmut Demmelhuber
This podcast episode is based on a technical article exploring the value of genetic depth in modern dairy cattle breeding. At the center of the discussion is whether outstanding genomic breeding values alone are sufficient to support long-term breeding success. The article explains why proven cow families and strong pedigrees remain important indicators of genetic consistency and reliable transmission across generations. It also examines how genomic evaluations and pedigree information can complement each other, helping breeders distinguish lasting genetic merit from short-term statistical…
