What's up with HIR? : technology
In the August 2014 issue of The Dairy Mail, we learnt about the concept of high-immune-response (HIR) technology. The discovery of HIR was a game changer, because it revealed that high immunity is passed on from parent to progeny at rates similar to production traits. We asked Dr Bonnie Mallard and Jay Shannon to update us on their research and tell us how this technology benefits dairy producers all over the world.
