Member focus - Jess Langton
“I would recommend the Mentoring Scheme to any HYB member. The programme has given me access to knowledge from experts of the breed and I’ve a better understanding of genomics and how this has helped progress the Holstein cow in more recent years. My future goals are to apply this knowledge to my undergraduate dissertation as I’ve chosen to focus this on reproduction and fertility. I’m also hoping to go on to do a PHD and specialise in this area.”
