EuroFAANG Research Infrastructure

In 2023, EuroFAANG Research Infrastructure Project, was funded by the EU as a natural outgrowth of the EuroFAANG collaborative effort that had seen 6 European projects come together since 2020 to bridge the gap between genomics and phenomics at the European level.

Project Timeline: 2023–2025

By establishing EuroFAANG RI, Europe is taking a significant step toward advancing agricultural research and ensuring the well-being of farmed animals through scientific research, innovation and collaboration.

Species

RUMINANTS

The main production traits for ruminants known for their complex (epi)genetic and microbiome interactions: disease susceptibility (e.g. mastitis), robustness, efficiency (also in relation to GHG emissions) and heat- and stress tolerance.

MONOGASTRIC

Several complex traits (e.g. growth rate, feed efficiency, fertility, product quality) related to sustainable and efficient production in monogastrics (pigs and poultry), and assess whether the epigenetic effects induced by a major environmental factor (i.e. diet) on the embryonic genome persist in the offspring.

FISH SPECIES

Precision breeding in aquaculture by enhancing traits of commercial relevance within the most important fish species used in European aquaculture (Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, common carp, European seabass, gilthead seabream and turbot), with a special focus on disease resistance.
