Biography

My research has led to the development and commercialization of a gene marker for cold tolerance in sheep, the income from which supports ongoing research into other potential gene-markers for use in animal breeding, creating a substantial research platform.The CTGMT is currently used in six countries (Australia, Germany, New Zealand, UK, US).  Nationally the CTGMT is routinely used by New Zealand stud breeders who use the fact that their animals are tested as a key part of their marketing.  Internationally the use of our gene-marker technologies has resulted in leading ram breeders receiving awards for agricultural innovation. For example, Bill and Lynne Duffield (Codan Suffolks – Lambton County) were the first Canadian Farmers to use the gene-marker test for cold tolerance and footrot and won the Ontario Premier’s Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence 2008.
