S4 Ep40: A glimpse into the future of artificial breeding, with Dr Gerard Davis and Nick Cameron
Episode 166
Thursday, 14 November, 2024

A glimpse into the future of artificial breeding in the cattle industry is provided in this week’s podcast, where Nbryo’s Nick Cameron and Gerard Davis talk through the company’s ambitious plans to ‘condense seven years into seven days’ using a suite of novel technologies that promise to re-imagine livestock systems for future food resilience. By any reasonable measure, the broader scope of the Nbryo project is visionary, and potentially far reaching. The technology is designed to have equal application for a progressive beef producer in Australia looking to produce more efficient and environmentally friendly beef, as it is for a smallholder farmer in Bangladesh with two head of cattle, who could improve his or her productivity by as much as 50pc in a single generation. For this reason the project has attracted some serious early financial backers, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Weekly Grill is brought to readers and listeners by Rhinogard by Zoetis.
