View answerThe Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP) provided financial support to farmers for using technology and genomics to improve the national herd. Farmers had to meet standards on genotyped animals.
There are no participants in the Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP) in 2023 as the scheme ended in 2022. It has been replaced by the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP) which will run from 2023 to 2027 inclusive.
