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 ...

New tools and approaches to control Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) in the EU and Asia (PoRRSCon)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2014,

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the major cause of reproductive and respiratory problems in pigs worldwide. Controlling this disease is a top priority in pig producing countries. Due to mutations at a high frequency, new variants of the virus appear that are no longer effectively controlled by the commercial vaccines. In addition, highly virulent variants emerge, lea ...

The postnatal priming of piglets with a diverse microbiota may affect the development of the piglet’s host-defense and gut functionality. By reversal, the piglets developing host-defense may affect the development of ...
