Livestock High-Throughput Phenotyping and Big Data Analytics (Livestock HTP and Big Data)

This meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss how cutting-edge methodologies to manage and analyze large diverse livestock data can be applied to the animal sciences. The goal of this meeting is to gather a diverse group of animal scientists in across disciplines to stimulate the livestock research community to expand the use of high-throughput data and develop a vision and strategy to apply these data to production agriculture.

Expected outcomes: A white paper will be developed by working groups.
