| Course abstract | |
| The course will focus on understanding, analyzing and utilizing the knowledge about the domesticated animals economic and genetic quality estimation and method for its using. In that program students are acquainted with the process of domestication and onthogenesis of farm animals, use the principles of population and quantitative genetics in selection and mating, estimation and prediction of the genetic gain in animal populations. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| After completing the course student will have:
• Knowledge: knowledge and understandings about the domesticated animals economic and genetic quality estimation and method for its using; knowledge about animal pure breed and hybridization breeding plans. • Skills: essential communication skills in the principles of quantitative genetics in selection and mating, estimation and prediction of the genetic gain and breeding value estimations in animal populations, to use previous topics in breeding plans. • Competence: to realize project work; define and critically analyze the project results. The ability of consulting and cooperating with colleagues, biologically trained people and herd managers. |
