Project code: DFG SFB 564: D2.4
Contract period: 01.07.2009 - 30.06.2012
Purpose of research: Applied research

D2 aims to develop community driven breeding and management programmes using livestock genotypes with high productive adaptability. Based on analysis of smallholder livestock production systems of different remoteness/ production intensity, the establishment of On-Farm Performance Testing Schemes (OPTS) and breeding model calculations, the breeding programs for pigs will be fine-tuned, out- and upscaled for general applicability of community driven breeding programmes.
