Description<\/h4>\n<\/div>

This new 5-year European project was kicked-off at the launch meeting in Paris last June. GenTORE will develop innovative genome-enabled selection and management tools to empower farmers to optimize cattle resilience and efficiency in a wide variety of changing environments. Precision phenotyping is one of the main activities, which will provide livestock farmers with a revolutionary approach to selecting the best animals for their system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Objectives<\/h3>\n<\/div>

Achieving a balance between resilience and efficiency of animals and livestock farms is crucial to ensure modern and sustainable livestock farming. The animals must be more resilient because their nutritional needs differ based on the production systems and the type of pastures available. They must be able to cope with diverse situations and withstand diseases that can vary based on environments and livestock farming systems. However, the relevant resilience and efficiency factors are difficult to measure on experimental farms and even more difficult under commercial conditions. This limits the possibilities for selecting more resilient and efficient animals and prevents farmers from managing their herds and optimizing the balance in their system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
