Year 13: Data in Animal Science (5th June)

Year 13 Data in Animal Science

Come join us for an exciting event focused on the world of data collection and how it shapes our productive systems and environmental management. The focus will be on animal science and what is measured, how it is measured and what it means. Through animal science, environmental data will also be introduced, and how both areas of data are being used in trails to redesign productive systems for the future.

This in-person event will dive into how both soft data and hard data are being used in the field, how it is collected and some of the wide range of graphs and tables that are used frequently for decision making.

This event is perfect for anyone interested in the intersection of data, science and land management who wants to shape and redesign the world around us.
