In other BDGP news, the cost of the genotyping tag has been reduced more than 26% compared to the 2014 beef genomics scheme, to €22 (a charge for genotyping is deducted from the scheme payment due to farmers).

The BDGP is intended to improve the national suckler herd and accelerate improvement in the environmental sustainability of the beef herd.
