  • The EAAP Webinar Series

Genomic tools in local sheep and goat breeding programs: what would work?

  • When: Tuesday, May 13th 2025, 15:00 - 17:00 Central European Time
  • Chair: Christina Ligda, ELGO-Dimitra, Greece & Georgia Hadjipavlou, Agricultural Research Institute, Cyprus
Registration closed: 13/05/2025 4:00 pm Central European Time

EAAP has been delivering programs on animal science for over 70 years. After careful planning, we are this year going to provide some outstanding webinars by inviting top speakers who will introduce subjects related to animal science and the livestock industry to scientists and technicians.

The Webinar series is planned to be organized monthly to inform, update, and disseminate with high-profile speakers the EAAP individual members.

The 28th EAAP Webinar is initiated by the EAAP Mediterranean WG, in connection with the S&G Study Commission.  The scope of the webinar is to examine various aspects of existing sheep and goat breeding schemes, specifically in the Mediterranean region and their future evolution. The presentations will give an overview of genomic breeding schemes for sheep and goats, to share experiences on the factors that foster their efficiency and/or constrains in wider implementation. Speakers and subsequent discussion will also provide insights on the strategies to follow to enhance networking and knowledge and tool-sharing in the Mediterranean region.

By attending EAAP Webinars, you will be able to stay on top of the latest research and gain new inspiration. Connect and network through a range of interactive presentations, discussions and workshops. Get updates on the latest results and opinions about animal science and the livestock industry. You can use this program also to teach your students.

All registered participants will receive a Zoom link a few hours before the webinar. We invite you to check your spam as well.

If you need support with your registration, please contact liguori@eaap.org or danilo@eaap.org.
