What the hell is GenTORE?: Digital stakeholder week 15-19 October!
Don't miss the chance to influence the outcomes!
Only a few more days and then the GenTORE Digital Week is starting! During this week several experts from the project have made themselves available to answer questions and have discussions in the E-Platform. A perfect opportunity for you to influence project outcomes, so make sure not to miss it!We allocated specific topics per day, but of course this doesn't mean that your question should be limited to those topics.
MONDAY
What is resilience? Is resilience important for the farmers in your production systems?
TUESDAY
How can we measure resilience, with and without sensors?
WEDNESDAY
How well can we measure feed intake and efficiency, with and without sensors?
THURSDAY
Is it worth considering genotype environment interactions for resilience or efficiency?
FRIDAY
How valuable would be tools that allow the farmer to have a ranking of his animals on their probability of completing the next production cycle?
Questions will be answered during the whole day, but adequate responses can be expected during the Happy Hour, from 14.00-15.00h (CEST).

Looking forward to see you online!
What the hell is Resilience and Efficiency actually?

SmartCow Transnational access (TNA) calls now published!

SmartCow TNA calls will provide academic and industry communities with free access to a wide range of cattle research facilities across Europe. Overall, they will be able to support up to 30 research projects representing a total of 10.000 "cow-weeks" (number of animals * number of experimental weeks). Deadline for the first stage proposal is 30th of September 2018. Read more
GenTORE at the 1st European Symposium on Livestock Farming in Mountain Areas (Bolzano, 20th – 22nd June 2018)

GenTORE aims at reaching a wide audience, focusing not only on the more represented systems but also on the less relevant livestock farming environments. The 1st European Symposium on Livestock Farming in Mountain Areas was an important opportunity for the promotion of GenTORE project. Read more
EGENES seeking geneticist!

Edinburgh Genetic Evaluation Services (EGENES) is the unit within SRUC that undertakes national genetic and genomic evaluations for dairy, beef, sheep and goats. It is a world class centre operating to ICAR standards utilising high performance computing and employing one of the largest reference population of genotypes in the world. Whilst EGENES operates independently producing evaluations for its customers, those same customers enjoy the benefit of EGENES being tightly integrated with the Animal Breeding and Genomics Team meaning research activity has a very short route to market.
 
We’re seeking a geneticist with experience of solving problems in genetic and genomic evaluations, one that can work within in a team and customers. It is expected that the candidate will undertake necessary research to underpin practical application of developments in genetic evaluation methodologies.

Nic Friggens gives keynote lecture at Dublin International Animal Science Conference

Nic Friggens gave the Sir John Hammond Lecture on 'Precision agriculture meets the genomics revolution' at the Britisch Society of Animal Science Annual Conference in Dublin early April 2018. This attracted 450 scientists from across the glode and was an excellent opportunity to explain GenTORE project in simple terms to an audience of scientists from many different backgrounds and disciplines. Lively discussions were generated!
