EU project to breed robust cows

A new EU funded project will look into ways to increase the resilience of cattle to an increasingly changing environment. With a combination of more extreme weather events caused by global warming and a historical focus on breeding mostly to increase production efficiency, it is critical that cattle breeders have the tools to be able to also breed for resilience (robustness, toughness). Adapting cattle production to specific regions Precision livestock phenotyping is a critical element in devel
