The subproject
Work packages of subproject 1
- WP1.1 Development of WITHIN BREED selection systems to improve animal health, product quality and performance traits; comparing genome-wide and traditional quantitative-genetic selection
- WP1.2 Development of improved CROSS-BREEDING strategies to optimise the balance between ‘robustness’ and performance traits; comparing cross-breeds with pure-bred Holstein Friesian genotypes
- WP1.3 Design of optimised breeding and management systems for different MACRO-CLIMATIC REGIONS of Europe; model-based multi-criteria evaluation with respect to performance, animal health and welfare, product quality and environmental impact
Dairy cows and beef cattle: Multi-criteria evaluation (Work package 1.3)
Work package 1.3 'Design of optimised breeding and management systems for different macro-climatic regions of Europe; model-based MULTI-CRITERIA EVALUATION with respect to performance, animal health and welfare, product quality and environmental impact' is divided into four sub-work packages.
- WP 1.3.0 Management
- WP1.3.1 STAGE 1 Model development and validation using existing data sets from Northern-maritime, Northern-continental and alpine macro-climatic zones
- WP1.3.2 STAGE 2 Model adaptation and validation for additional macro-climatic regions (Mediterranean, North Eastern Europe)
