Key Achievements
Breed smarter, Choose better!
New tools for more accurate, practical and accessible animal breeding
From Genome to Public
Innovations in livestock breeding are directly related to policy issues. This is partly due to the potential role that these innovations can play in addressing societal challenges in the agri-food sector, and partly because new technologies raise questions that require governance.

Different Breeding Strategies
Selection models traditionally rely on phenotypic and pedigree data, and increasingly more on genomic data since the advent of genomic selection. Genomic selection relaxes the need of measuring phenotypes on selection candidates themselves, which leads to selection at young age,reducing generation intervals.
