  • Ronan O’Neill

    MVB, MRCVS, Dip. Stat, PhD

    Ronan received his MVB in June 1994 and immediately went into mixed practice in the Irish midlands. After five seasons of attending very similar infectious problems on the same farms, he recognised that to make a more durable impact in farmed animal health a different tactic might be worth exploring. So, he moved to Glasgow Veterinary School and did first a Pathology residency, followed by a research PhD on the genetic control of respiratory vaccines in cattle. In late 2000, he joined the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) as a research officer based in the Virology Division in Abbotstown, just in time for the 2001 Foot-and-Mouth outbreak with which he was heavily involved lab-wise with the Cooley outbreak followed by a secondment in the main UK laboratory at Pirbright. Since 2017, Ronan has headed Virology Division in Backweston. From his days in practice, Ronan retains a special clinical interest in the viral causes of bovine respiratory disease and the forever intriguing BVD virus and, from his researcher days, he is intensely interested in the prodigious amount of animal health data now being generated in Ireland and perhaps boosting the relatively modest value currently harvested from it. Ronan currently sits on several national and EU groups concerned with One Health, Biosecurity, Farmed Animal Vaccination and Emergency Response Planning.

  • Ross Evans

    BAgrSc, MSc, PhD

    Ross Evans grew up on a dairy and beef farm in Edenderry, Co. Offaly. He completed a Bachelors degree in Agricultural Science from UCD in 1998; a Masters in Animal Breeding in Wageningen University in 2001; and a PhD in Teagasc Moorepark on the genetics of fertility in dairy cattle in 2005. He has worked with the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF) since 2005. His time in ICBF has coincided with the evolution of the Economic Breeding Index (EBI) for selecting dairy cattle and the Eurostar Terminal and Replacement indexes for the beef herd. ICBF now routinely evaluate over 60 traits six times per year. The expansion of the dairy herd coupled with the growth of beef on dairy has necessitated Ross’s work to focus on research and development of the Dairy Beef Index for selecting dairy sires and the Commercial Beef Value indexes to rank the subsequent offspring for future profit potential. In 2023, Ross assumed the role of Research Genetics Lead at ICBF. This role involves the co-ordination of ICBF genetics research activities both at a national level through collaboration with Teagasc research and numerous Irish universities on breeding related projects but also at an international level with ICAR as the ICBF representative at INTERBULL and as a member of the Interbeef technical and validation working groups. Ross has a keen interest in the development of national and international genetic evaluations for methane in order to help safeguard the future of the bovine industry in Ireland.
