Dr. Sonja Egan:

Among the specifics we cover is the equine inclusion in TAMS and the ACA, which Mr. Duggan has referenced. I give a presentation on the breeding schemes funded through the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, in terms of overarching eligibilities, where people can find additional information and whether they want to speak to us afterwards to apply for and draw down this funding. We also have speakers from the Irish Equine Centre to talk specifically about animal health, and environmental and hygiene testing. That has been well received. There is a new scheme in the organisation. Finally, we have our own HSI geneticist who explains our DNA transition from microsatellites to single nucleotide polymorphism, SNPs. That refers to how we analyse horses' DNA parentage verification to explain what that transition process looks like. A lot of the feedback has been about the transition from microsatellites to SNP technology or that genotyping, how it will work and how it will impact them. We have been able to answer those questions then and there and develop as we have been on the roadshows.
