Optimisation of early reproductive success in dairy cattle through the definition of new traits and improved reproductive biotechnology (FECUND)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
"Good fertility is essential for the sustainability of livestock production. Of all livestock sectors, fertility of dairy cattle is raising the greatest cause for concern. Cow fertility has declined, particularly in Holstein cattle, from 80% pregnancy to first service 20 years ago to less than 40% today. Poor fertility is one of the main reasons for early culling, such that modern dairy cows compl ...

Deciphering the role of thyroid hormones in seasonal reproduction (ThyroRepro)
Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
Most mammals living at temperate latitudes exhibit seasonal reproduction, which is synchronized by photoperiod through the central action of melatonin. In the ewe this translates into the initiation of the breeding season as day-length shortens while the anestrus season is triggered by the photoperiod lengthening, which occurs at the end of winter. We recently characterized a complex pathway by wh ...

Development of improved methods for detection, control and eradication of pine wood nematode in support of EU Plant Health policy (REPHRAME)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,
Europe’s pine forests are a valuable economic, social and environmental resource under threat from the introduction of the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Although not a pest in its native North America, PWN has devastated forests in Asia. Since the arrival of PWN in Portugal, the native maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, has proved to be extremely susceptible, with PWN being s ...

Integrated system of data collection technologies for mapping soil properties (DIGISOIL)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2011,
The multidisciplinary DIGISOIL consortium intends to integrate and improve in situ and proximal measurement technologies for the assessment of soil properties assessment and soil degradation indicators, going from the sensing technologies to their integration and their application in (digital) soil mapping (DSM). In addition, our SMEs experience will allow to take into account the feasibility of s ...
