New Medria participated on Thursday, June 22, 2017 at the launch of the European GenTORE project at AgroParisTech. This H2020 project aims to develop indicators to assess the efficiency and resilience of cattle (dairy and meat) in response to environmental constraints, particularly in the face of climate change, and to identify genetic resources to optimize this resilience .
This is a large-scale project bringing together 21 partners from 11 European countries, with an overall budget of € 7.6 million. New Medria‘s contribution will include the provision of sensors to monitor animal behavior and health and the processing of their data to derive relevant indicators on the response of flocks to environmental stresses.
