TBA 2016 Seminar - Breeding the racehorse: new technologies and old adversaries
The Green Room at Tattersalls was at full capacity for our 'Breeding the racehorse: new technologies and old adversaries' seminar. The focus of the 2016 Seminar was the important and diverse subjects of genetic testing and infectious disease, the former a potential new technology for the industry, and the latter an old, and this year significant challenge.
