The EBLEX research and development programme also encompasses the work of Signet on gathering breed traits for Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) which help producers work towards producing ideal offspring for their target markets.

Our research publication policy is that, once peer reviewed and finalised, a final report giving the results of a levy-funded research project will be openly published on our website, subject to any overriding considerations.
