Functional Breeding
Molecular genetic characterization of a buck-ewe hybrid (geep), its parents and offspring...more Our successor project QTCCm is underway. The aim of the project is the genomic analysis of the correlation and causality between quantitative traits in dairy cattle breeding, taking into account transcriptome and metabolome data. Our department is a partner in the joint project agri:change - Zukunft durch Wandel We warmly congratulate our research associate Dr. Paula Reich on receiving the DGFZ Dissertation Prize 2025 for her work on genomic analysis in German warmblood horses.
We are delighted to welcome Stephan Ohlendorf as our new fish farming expert. Mr. Ohlendorf brings extensive experience in aquaculture and will support our team from January 1st, 2026. Welcome and best of luck! We warmly welcome our new student assistant, Karthigayini Sakthivel, to our team. Ms. Sakthivel will be supporting our animal hygiene working group from January 1st, 2026. Welcome and best of luck! There are currently exciting thesis topics available on the topic of "Genomics in Horses." -- New results on the genomic background of milk yield and reproductive traits in German Holstein cattle published.
