GenTORE – “GENomic management Tools to Optimize Resilience and Efficiency” - is an EU funded project within the Research and Innovation Program H2020. GenTORE will develop innovative genome-enabled selection and management tools to empower farmers to optimize cattle resilience and efficiency (R&E) in different and changing environments. |
GenTORE Fact Sheet
As the cattle farming is becoming challanging due to climate change, how can farmers identify which animals to keep and breed? What is GenTORE's solution? What are the social impact of these GenTORE results? We are delighted to publish the brand new fact sheet of GenTORE! Please click the image for the English version of the fact sheet.
GenTORE's logo coloring contest!As Christmas and holiday season is approaching, are you ready for a fun contest to be included in the GenTORE movie?
To enter the contest, all you need to do is to color the GenTORE logo in one of the 2 different themes: • You can color the logo according to the hot topic “climate change” or, • You can go festive and color the logo with a Christmas theme! All designs will be published on the website and the most creative designs will be included in GenTORE movie, including the names of the artists! You can send your designs to duru.eroglu[at]effab.info. Hope you have some fun time colouring and we are looking forward to receiving your designs! Best wishes from the GenTORE team! 
GenTORE at Animal Task Force and Fitter Livestock Farming WorkshopGenTORE participated in the Fitter Livestock Farming Workshop about “What R&I can deliver to support climate mitigation and adaptation in livestock farming?” on 6 November 2019 in Brussels, Belgium. The workshop was jointly organized by Animal Task Force (ATF) and Common Dissemination Booster (CDB) Fitter Livestock Farming, that is lead by GenTORE.

NewsNew PhD position on developing biomarkers of resilience at INRAE
At French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE), there is a new PhD position available on "Combining genetic and modelling approaches to develop new non-invasive biomarkers of resilience based on milk metabolites". Applications will be accepted until 15th May 2020. For more information about the position and application procedure, please click here. Policy Brief published by COST Action G-BIKE
COST action “Genomic Biodiversity Knowledge for resilient Ecosystems” (G-BiKE) released a policy brief. It summarizes research results highly relevant for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience in the light of climate change. The document is aimed at increasing awareness about the need to monitor genetic diversity in any future EU regulations related to biodiversity preservation and management. The policy brief can be reached here. ATF and Fitter Livestock Farming Workshop
On November 06, 2019, Animal Task Force (ATF) and Fitter Livestock Farming Common Dissemination Booster (CDB) jointly organised an afternoon session on “What R&I can deliver to support climate mitigation and adaptation in livestock farming”.
