Collaboration for Sustainable Cattle Breeding
Today, our Research and Innovation Officer Geena CARTICK had the chance to present the work of #CODE-EFABAR during the 31st International Symposium Animal Science Days 2023 (#ASD2023) organized under the patronage of the EAAP – European Federation of Animal Science, which took place in Lipica, Slovenia.
The collaboration between CODE-EFABAR and the RUMIGEN project exemplifies a shared commitment to responsible and sustainable cattle breeding practices. CODE-EFABAR provides guiding principles for balanced breeding, while RUMIGEN focuses on scientific research, technological advancements, and stakeholder engagement.

- Genetic Diversity: CODE-EFABAR ensures effective management of genetic diversity to preserve both endangered and non-endangered genetic resources.
- Animal Welfare: RUMIGEN addresses animal welfare and engages stakeholders to assess the social acceptability of breeding technologies.
- Societal Perspectives: RUMIGEN incorporates societal perspectives in defining breeding goals and selecting appropriate technologies.
Together, they develop guidelines for future breeding programs, considering genetic diversity management, animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and stakeholder engagement. This collaboration creates a comprehensive roadmap for breeders and stakeholders.
