The Animal Breeding & Genomics chair group provides education and research in the field of animal and fish breeding, genetics and genomics. This is becoming increasingly important to ensure food security. Optimal breeding schemes for animal selection are made by using the hereditary properties and genomic information of (farm) animals and fish. This contributes to innovations in livestock farming and fish farming. The challenge is to produce enough food globally with a smaller ecological footprint, while preserving the health and welfare of animals.
