Animal breeding and genetics

Husdjurens genetik och avel

Information from the course leader

Välkommen till vårens kurstillfälle!

Vi börjar med en kursintroduktion den 20:e mars kl 9.15. Ett preliminärt kurschema hittar du här eller i TimeEdit. Observera att schemat är preliminärt och kan komma att ändras fram till kursstart (den senaste versionen lades här på hemsidan den 11:e december, så om du laddade ner schemat tidigare än så har det blivit vissa ändringar).

Under kursen kommer du bland annat lära dig hur olika egenskaper nedärvs, hur man hittar de genetiskt bästa djuren samt hur dessa kunskaper utnyttjas för att bygga avelsprogram för olika djurslag, allt med syfte att få väl fungerande husdjur i livsmedelsproduktion och för sport och fritid.

Varmt välkommen - jag ser mycket fram emot att träffa dig under kursen!
