Policy

Picture
FABRE TP aims to support stakeholder involvement in the set up of a partnership led by industry to tackle major issues concerning sustainable animal breeding and reproduction in Europe, and taking into account what is happening in the developing world.


Picture
The Animal Task Force is a European Public-Private Platform which promotes a sustainable and competitive livestock sector in Europe. It is a leading body of expertise, representing key stakeholders from industry, farmers and research from across Europe.



Current projects

Picture
The European research project FISHBOOST will advance European aquaculture to the next level by developing balanced and sustainable breeding programmes to improve breeding programmes for the six main fin fish species. For more information visit the FISHBOOST website.

​SAPHIR aims to develop vaccine strategies effective against endemic pathogens responsible for high economic losses in livestock in order to strengthen the profitability of food animal systems, improve animal welfare and reduce xenobiotic usage in farming with a One Health perspective. Check http://www.h2020-saphir.eu/ for more information on the SAPHIR project.

​GenTORE – “GENomic management Tools to Optimize Resilience and Efficiency” - is a H2020 project that aims to develop innovative genome-enabled selection and management tools to optimize cattle resilience and efficiency (R&E) in widely varying and changing environments. GenTORE will improve the ability of the European beef and dairy cattle livestock sector to become more resilient and efficient by translating innovative breeding opportunities into practical solutions at farm level. For more information visit the GenTORE website.

 is an H2020 project which stands for Innovative Management of Animal Genetic resources. It aims at enhancing the use of genetic collections and upgrading animal gene bank management. The ultimate goal of the project is to demonstrate the benefits brought by gene banks to the development of more sustainable livestock farming systems. For more information visit the IMAGE website


The European FP7 project PROHEALTH aims to contribute to our understanding of the multifactorial dimension of animal pathologies linked to the intensification of production and to help provide effective control strategies to reduce the impact on animal welfare including health.The project will address the production diseases of pigs, broilers and egg laying chickens and turkeys in a wide range of intensive systems across Europe. For more information visit the PROHEALTH website.
