Intro to GplusE
GplusE: Genotype and Environment contributing to the sustainability of dairy cow production systems through the optimal integration of genomic selection and novel management protocols based on the development and exploitation of genomic data and supporting novel phenotyping approaches.
GplusE is an FP7 project funded by the European Union. It is a five-year project which began in January 2014 and was executed by 15 research and industry partners.
The GplusE project formally ended on 31st December 2018. The GplusE community is however still active in finalising, publishing and implementing the results. The present website will still be active and updated until the end of 2020, particularly:
- The final conference that will take place within the 70th Annual meeting of the EAAP in Ghent, Belgium, will be announced and reported in due time;
- The list of publications will be updated in June and December each year;
- The list of key results will be supplemented as they appear.
Fitter Livestock Farming Project Group: Towards a Sustainable European Livestock Farming!
Fitter Livestock Farming Project Group organises two workshops, providing a discussion forum for their collaborative Policy Paper.
Two workshops focused on sustainable and competitive livestock production in Europe should be brought to your attention. The first one, on 28th August 2019, is part of the programme of the European Federation for Animal Science (EAAP) Annual Meeting in Ghent (Belgium), at the International Convention Centre. The second one, entitled “What R&I can deliver to support climate mitigation and adaptation in livestock farming” is organised together with the Animal Task Force (ATF) and takes place on 6th November, in Brussels (Belgium).
