DENMARK - A new research project will harness information technology to breed pigs that are less inclined to bite tails and that utilise the feed more efficiently, in a collaboration between Aarhus University and the Danish Pig Research Centre.
Information about pigs' pen mates, advanced statistical models and genomic methods are some of the tools that researchers will use in the project, which aims to improve pig welfare and reduce environmental impact. Results from the project will not only improve pig welfare, but will also be beneficial for the environment. A more efficient use of feed will result in reduced emissions of nutrients and carbon dioxide (CO2) to the environment. By combining new methods for processing group information with genomic information, the scientists expect to be able to increase genetic progress for these traits.
丹麦——个新的研究项目将利用信息技术繁殖不太愿意咬尾巴的猪，更有效地利用饲料，此项研究是奥尔胡斯大学和丹麦猪研究中心之间合作的。
关于猪笔伴侣的信息,先进的统计模型和基因方法的工具，将被研究人员使用在这个项目中，旨在提高猪的福利和降低环境影响。此项目的结果不仅会改善猪福利，而且会对环境是有益的。更有效地利用饲料将减小营养物质的流失及减少二氧化碳(CO2)的排放。通过采用处理组信息与基因组信息的新方法，科学家们希望能够提高这些性状的遗传进展。
