6 credits

Angebotshäufigkeit:

jedes WS

Dauer des Moduls:

1 Semester

Prüfungsleistung:

Oral exam (50%), written and/or oral contribution to the seminar (50%)

Arbeitsaufwand:

56 h presence + 104 h pre¬paration at home + exam = 160 h workload

Fachkompetenzen:

This module provides an overview of recent research and hot topics in the field of animal breeding and genetics. Besides focusing on new breeding goals concerning robustness, resilience, disease resistance and adaptation, the participants gain insight in the methods required for these novel and difficult-to-measure traits.

Schlüsselkompetenzen:

As the module contains input lectures of researchers as well as seminar contributions and discussion sessions, the participants are always integrated as an active part of the teaching/learning experience. After completing the module, participants are familiar with critical issues in animal breeding and genetics, characterization of novel traits, and analysis of difficult-to-measure traits. Further, participants will acquire skills in critical review of scientific literature in animal breeding and genetics.
