Compensation for Those Who Provide Data

Reference ID:1431

Whereas

Whereas if breeders do not contribute to the services, no data will be collected and the value of genetic evaluations will be affected;

Whereas breeders pay for services to access data (classification, milk recording);

Whereas all producers benefit from this data, regardless of their level of contribution to genetic services;

Whereas it is the insemination centers that truly benefit from the data for the evaluation of the bulls.

Therefore

Therefore, Lactanet, Holstein Canada, and the insemination centers are asked to find a solution to the inequity that disadvantages breeders who contribute to the services, and therefore pay more, and/or to ensure a return to breeders who contribute to the services.
