Interactive relation with farmers: • Project is developed and implemented together with the farmers and readjusted based on their feedback. Farmer-relevant issues to be prioritized Management of inbreeding Use of Artificial Insemination Field experiment with the white-headed mutton sheep
• Use of molecular genetic information (genotyping & sequencing) for Animal Genetic Resources in Schleswig-Holstein
• Pilot projects: demonstrate to farmers how to take advantage of the new method of genome information. Development of a genome- based population management for selected breeds. OG Animal Genetic Resources, Schleswig-Holstein 8 April 2016 5 Complementary Knowledge of the Group Farmers: Provision of requisite information on breeds Acquisition of practical knowledge / experience by SWOT Method Balance of genomic information and pedigree information Use of the data when mating Feedback
Lead Partner: Coordination Public relations work, administration, networking
