About

Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to University of Reading, School of Agriculture, Policy and Develop for data mining of the long-term Defra-funded project AC0122 on protein efficiency in dairy cows and associated biobank samples.

The project generated a unique dataset of individual cow phenotype measurements over multiple lactations with cows fed diets of a constant formulation, and the biobank study at the University of Reading provided samples to explore biological determinants of animal variation in nitrogen efficiency and potential biomarkers.

The contract, valued at AUD 203,962, supports further extraction and mining of the data to enhance findings for practical implementation and policy, and to refine the data for future use through Defra's data service.
