About Lorna
Lorna rejoined LIC in 2011 and started working on the impact of liveweight targets on animal performance. She now leads an NZAGRC/AgEmission Centre funded research project between LIC and CRV to understand genetic variation in methane emissions in dairy cattle. The goal of this project is to allow farmers to select low-emission sires without compromising productivity. Alongside this she is working on breeding for facial eczema resistance and exploring new data sources for genetic evaluation.
