Animal breeding and genetics
.
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!

.
If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.
The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
For the assessment of an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
If there are special reasons, students are entitled to participate in components with compulsory attendance when the course is given again. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
