Genome Alberta and the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency have launched the second Alberta Livestock Genomics Program.
Areas of specific research interest include:
• Improving the ability of livestock to handle disease, stress and environmental conditions such as drought, heat and cold.
• Reducing the environmental footprint of livestock production.
• Improving traits such as meat quality, feed efficiency or wool production.
• Exploring the social, political, regulatory and economic issues that come with the use of genomics-based technology.
