Ireland Genetics Breeding Programme The Ireland Genetics breeding programme is a breeding programme specifically designed to deliver the most profitable genetics for the Irish Dairy and Beef industries. Because we in Ireland have a unique production system to become the most efficient farms we need to ensure we have a supply of optimal genetics to suit our unique system. Ireland Genetics is delivering this.

A Breeding Program worth Billions to Irish Farmers

This year almost 50,000 dairy replacements will be born on Irish farms from NCBC bulls. In 2010 the average EBI of bulls sold was €215. This will mean an annual gain to Irish farmers of €110 million per year over the next ten years.

If the full potential of over 200,000 dairy replacements were all bred by these bulls the NCBC breeding program has the potential to deliver a gain of over €500 million per year over the next ten years.

Testing 1,000 bulls & 500

Heifers this year to ensure Irelands genetic future

In 2011 use the best bulls from Irelands best stud The grassland alliance is a collaboration between NCBC and CRV Ambreed. It has the effect of pooling the resources of two of the largest grazing genetics programs in the world.

We have selected several bulls from this collaboration for the coming year. They are marked with the grassland alliance logo and are sourced from CRV Ambreed in New Zealand.

We expect this venture to allow us to continue to provide Irish farmers with the best genetics for Ireland.
