Learning objectives
The objective of this course is to provide the operational tools used in livestock to select and reproduce animals, tolls that are nowadays based on genomic technologies. Advancement in molecular technologies has in fact generated new selection processes based on the genomic information available on each animal. Students will learn the basics for interpreting the available genomic information and tools for their use in genomic selection and breeding management.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will be able to use at basic level the genomic information provided to breeders and artificial insemination centers that are the fundamental pillar of the genomic selection. They will be able to interpret the genomic reproductive value (GEBV) and to implement, on farms, innovative selection programs. They will have the basic knowledge of the bioinformatic tools and usage skills for the management of genomic data.
Single course

This course can be attended as a single course.
