Epigenetics for trusted advisors
EpiHerd's technology is based on how farmers' actions can directly affect the epigenetic fine-tuning of genes' activity in the animals, so the genes work optimally for good animal health, and ultimately good productivity, fertility and longevity.
This jargon-free article explains:
-
epigenetics in more detail,
-
how exactly the EpiHerd test reveals what epigenetic (gene expression) changes will be favourable to the animals, and
- what farmers can do, upon receiving the test results, to change the animals' environment to optimise their health.
