The project aims to lay the foundation for genomic selection in Swedish beef cattle populations. Genomic selection has revolutionized animal breeding and much increased genetic progress in e.g. dairy cattle. Improved animal breeding increases production efficiency and genomic selection enables future selection for new traits related to e.g. beef quality and climate impact. We will establish Swedish reference populations for the two most common beef breeds by genotyping animals with pedigree and phenotypic information. We will develop a framework to estimate genomic enhanced breeding values based on these reference populations and single-step methods. We will also survey known genes of importance for qualitative traits (e.g. beef marbling) that should be included in selection. The project is expected to give a basis for future international collaborations both in research and for genetic evaluations, and to improve the competitiveness and profitability of Swedish beef producers.
Projektets syfte är att lägga grunden för genomisk selektion i svenska köttraspopulationer. Genomisk selektion har revolutionerat aveln och kraftigt ökat det genetiska framsteget i andra djurslag. Bättre djurmaterial ger effektivare produktion och genomisk selektion möjliggör framtida selektion för nya egenskaper, t.ex. kopplade till köttkvalitet och klimatpåverkan. Vi vill etablera svenska referenspopulationer för våra två vanligaste nötköttsraser genom att genotypa djur med härstamnings- och fenotypinformation. Målet är att skapa förutsättningar för att skatta genomiskt förstärkta avelsvärden baserat på dessa referenspopulationer och s.k. single-step metodik. Vi kommer även kartlägga kända gener som påverkar viktiga kvalitativa egenskaper (t.ex. marmorering) som bör inkluderas i selektionen. Projektet förväntas ge en bas för framtida internationellt forskningssamarbete och praktisk avelsvärdering, samt förbättra konkurrenskraft och lönsamhet för svenska nötköttsproducenter.

Decreasing population sizes and risk of accumulation of inbreeding is a challenge for the national Norwegian horse breeds; the Dole, the Fjord and the Nordland/Lyngen. The average breed-specific reduction in covered mares is between 37% and 45%, when comparing the years 2000 to 2009 to the years …

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …

All horses grazing freely are at risk of parasitic diseases. Due to a growing problem with drug resistance in parasites, there is a need to improve the diagnostic methods. One important problem with today's situation is that one diagnostic procedure costs significantly more than one treatment, both …
