  • Genetic standards and breeding methods for farm animals in the EU = Genetski standardi in selekcijske metode pri domačih živalih v Evropski uniji
    Glodek, Peter
    Basic rules for animal breeding in the EU, laid down in Council Directives and Commission Decisions, whose main objective is to ensure free trade with breeding stock, embryos on gametes in the ... Community are presented in the paper. The species covered are cattle, pigs, sheep & goats and horses. The main activities regulated are recognition of breeding organizations, identification and registration of breeding animals, issuing of pedigree certificates and acceptance of registered breeding animals in all Member States. Very little detail is stated on performance monitoring and genetic evaluation. In these fields internationally acceptable standard procedures are requested and these must be approved by reference organizations like ICAR and INTERBULL in cattle. The general trend in all farm animal species moves from expensive central station testing to collecting more field records under normal production conditions, in order to avoid negative effects of genotype-environment-interactions. Nearly everywhere BLUP-Animal-Model evaluation methods are used now because of their great advantages in utilizing records of probands together with all relatives. However, such evaluation procedures require high investments and running costs and can therefore effectively be done only by large breeding organizations or state supported computing centers. More international cooperation in this field as for example INTERBULL's international bull evaluation service, will be expected in the future.
