Transparency is a major factor in fighting diseases like #COVID19. Members are encouraged to notify cases, such as the recent coronavirus outbreak at mink farms in #Denmark 🇩🇰, through #OIEWAHIS. All this for a better understanding of the virus to collectively reduce risks.

ICBF recently passed an important milestone with over 2 million cattle having a valid genotype. It only seems like yesterday that we were reporting on passing the 1 million genotype milestone in 2017. An increase of 1M valid genotypes in less than 3 years. icbf.com/wp/?p=15929
