Consumers continue to want safe food, quality food, affordable food and increasingly, convenient food. All performance recording systems will need to keep these needs at the forefront. A trend within beef production that could accelerate the collection of performance records for carcass traits is product branding in vertically integrated systems. The consumer demand for higher quality and differentiable meat products is one of the driving factors. The use of genetic markers, especially comparative mapping, will help overcome some of the expense and extensive time periods required to retrieve genetic information for carcass traits. The size of dairy operations, particularly in countries with no production quota, continues to rise rapidly. The priority traits for management and breeding programmes are evolving from one focused on yield traits to health and fertility traits and performance recording systems to allow the collection of on-farm records into national databases will accelerate the ability to genetically improve cattle for health and fertility. The major dairy breeds are facing more and more issues with inbreeding depression and genetic recessives as inbreeding levels continue to rise at a steady rate. The only way to effectively manage inbreeding and genetic recessives is by an effective and comprehensive identification system that is tied to national and international recording systems.
