91160 - Livestock Genomics

Academic Year 2026/2027

  • Teaching Mode: In-person learning (entirely or partially)
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: First cycle degree programme (L) in Genomics (cod. 9211)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the lectures, the student has the background needed to analyse the genome of the most important farm animal species (cattle, pig, sheep, goat, rabbit, poultry and other species), to use genomic information in selection and breeding plans, conservation and management plans of animal populations for the sustainable use of animal diversity. The student can plan genome wide association studies to identify genomic regions affecting economic relevant traits and other relevant phenotypes. The student can also apply genomic technologies for the authentication of animal products.
