Farm animal breeding and reproduction (Web)
FABRE-TP aims to support stakeholder involvement in the set up of a partnership led by industry to tackle major issues concerning sustainable animal breeding and reproduction in Europe, and taking into account what is happening in the developing world. Animal breeding is a knowledge intensive sector, and for the competitiveness and the future of animal breeding and animal production, high level European research is indispensable. This ETP is hosted by EFFAB, the European Forum of Farm Animal Breeders, which is an independent European forum of farm animal reproduction and selection organisations in cattle and other ruminants, pigs, poultry and aquaculture.
ABRE TP has developed a vision paper on farm animal breeding and reproduction on the medium to long term (15-20 years). FABRE-TP and the Vision Paper (LINK) have been launched at 2 March 2006 at the Salon de l'Agriculture in Paris.
In 2006, a Strategic Research Agenda (LINK) was made, and an implementation plan will be drafted, discussed and implemented. The aim is to get the commitment of the stakeholders involved, including business, research organizations and funding organizations at the national level. The document gives an overview on the diversity of animal populations, on the regional, national, European and global level in breeding, explains the future scenarios and shows the animal breeding landscape in 5, 15 and 25 years time.
