NAV breeders webinar
In preparation for NAV workshop in January 2016 NAV hosted a webinar where results for 2 topics (Young stock survival, functional udder) were presented. For the two topics decisions should be discussed in January. Participants in the webinar were people involved in deciding the breeding goal for RDC, Holstein and Jersey.
A webinar is a meeting where people can participate from home via computer. NAV’s first webinar was held succesfully and NAV got positive feedback from the participants.
The material of the webinar and recording of the webinar is under Presentations.
