Work Package Overview

Objectives

O3.1: Implementation of refined phenotypes for disease resilience that take into account disease transmission

O3.2: Development of methods to reduce animal suffering in disease challenges within selective breeding operations

O3.3 :Uptake of genetic and genomics tools from previous EU projects and WP1 to reduce the need for routine disease challenges every generation
