Improving European aquaculture by advancing selective breeding to the next level for the six main finfish species (FISHBOOST)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 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 ...

Robust Sheep Electronic Identification (ROSEI)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
It is clear that group (batch) identification is not an adequate method to trace sheep movements across the EU, as the Foot & Mouth outbreak in 2001 demonstrated. Once animals move through different holdings, farms, or markets, it is very difficult to track where each animal is going without individual identification and recording. Should there be a disease outbreak the uncontrolled movement of an ...

Measuring ecosystem services of High Nature Value farmland through landscape and biodiversity indicators (AGRI-ECO SERVICES)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
"Among the ecosystem services provided by European agriculture, the conservation of biodiversity and agricultural landscapes are predominant. High Nature Value (HNV) farmland located in less favoured areas play a central role in the conservation of habitats and species. However, biodiversity continues to be lost at an unprecedented rate, with trends projected to become worse. Current processes of ...

Towards marker assisted selection against genetic defects in pigs (PIGENDEF)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"The project focuses on the rapid identification of genes underlying congenital disorders in pigs for effective marker assisted selection (MAS) against genetic defects. The occurrence of congenital hereditary disorders is a significant problem for pig producers and selection compagnies and leads to poor animal welfare and severe economic loss. For most of these defects there are strong indications ...
