Improving European aquaculture by advancing selective breeding to the next level for the six main finfish species (FISHBOOST)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,
Only about 10% of today’s global aquaculture production use genetically improved stocks. In Europe, some breeding programmes consist of only the basic components of a breeding scheme. Hence, there is large potential to increase efficiency and profit by domestication and genetic improvement of farmed finfish. The main challenge of FISHBOOST is to realise this potential into economic and social acce ...

Sustainable intensive pig and poultry production (PROHEALTH)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2018,
Production diseases compromise health and welfare, generating inefficiencies which impact adversely on profitability, environmental footprint, antibiotic use and product quality.The PROHEALTH project will develop understanding of the multi-factorial dimension of animal pa-thologies linked to the intensification of production and use this to develop, evaluate and disseminate ef-fective control stra ...

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 ...

Connecting the animal genome, gastrointestinal microbiomes and nutrition to improve digestion efficiency and the environmental impacts of ruminant livestock production (RUMINOMICS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
This project will integrate at the highest possible level expertise and technologies to increase the efficiency and decrease the environmental footprint of ruminant production, significantly advancing current knowledge in this sector. The project will exploit state-of-the-art –omics technologies to understand how ruminant gastrointestinal microbial ecosystems, or microbiomes, are controlled by the ...
