Please find below a survey about participation in various components of Canadian genetic improvement programs, including animal identification, registration, performance recording, use of on-farm management software, and genetic evaluation. The survey is being done as part of a project to integrate genetic services across multiple species (see below for more information on the project).
We would greatly appreciate your cooperation in completing the survey, which should take 10 to 15 minutes. The survey can be accessed online at: https://forms.gle/pKAXPQEyhQeezeX87
We have agreed to distribute the survey to our members, and in return will have access to the results. The survey will be open for responses until July 31, 2023. Please complete the survey at your earliest convenience.
