The beef data and genomics programme, BDGP, is a five-year plan that will run from 2017 to 2022, inclusive. I am a strong supporter of the programme in respect of improving the productivity and health assets of the herd. How does the Department measure its success? How can it measure the impact of breeding programmes and so on in such a short period? Will there be a next phase, and if so, will the Department collect data to use in it?
