From Sequence to Consequence - Tools for the Exploitation of Livestock Genomes (Quantomics)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
QUANTOMICS will deliver a step-change in the availability of cutting edge technologies and tools for the economic exploitation of livestock genomes. We will provide the tools to identify rapidly the causative DNA variation underpinning sustainability in livestock and for industry to exploit high-density genomic information. Our adaptable quantitative and genomic tools each based on cutting-edge te ...

Innovative and practical management approaches to reduce nitrogen excretion by ruminants (REDNEX)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
Dairying is an important sector of EU agriculture, but intensification has been accompanied by an increase in N surplus. This has a negative environmental impact on groundwater (pollution with nitrates), surface water (eutrophication) and on the atmosphere (de-nitrification and ammonia volatilisation). The EU seeks to stimulate measures that improve management of nutrients, waste and water as a st ...

Toolbox of cost-effective strategies for on-farm reductions in N losses to water (N-TOOLBOX)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
"The aim of this supporting action is to develop a “toolbox” of cost-effective technologies to be implemented at the farm level to protect water from nitrate pollution. The project will bring together four partners with expertise in farm level N management in their regions. The first component of the toolbox will be a catalogue of technologies for reducing N losses on the farm produced using pre ...
