In this episode we ask Geoff Lindon about the genetics portfolio at AWI.  We focus on the work completed on flystrike and worm resistance and discuss the Merino Lifetime Productivity project that is currently underway.  The genetics of flystrike is mainly completed but has the left the industry with some breeding values that can be applied to reduce the incidence of flystrike in Merino flocks.  It is now up to the industry to use them!
