Animal Breeding and Genomics Centers

•

Can I genetically select dairy cows based on their emission of methane?

•

Is it possible by measuring gene activity to find out whether chicken have good gut health?

•

How do we store genetic material for future generations best?

Domestication of Animals

•

Domestication was done in different areas in different periods

•

First time in Mesopotamia (11.000 b.p.)

•

First domesticated species: sheep and goats (9.000 -11.000 b.p.)

•

Followed pigs (8.500 – 10.500 b.p.) and cattle

(8.000 -10.000 b.p.).

DNA Traceability

http://inab.certh.gr

•

DNA certified products of animal and plant origin –

Unique «DNA signature»

–

Protection form adulteration and fraudulent actions

–

Could protect the added valued of PDO and PGI products –

Protection of the investment made from the stakeholders

–

Some Examples: Mozzarela di buffala, Feta Cheese, Greek Black Pig, Fava Santorinis etc.

http://inab.certh.gr

Greek Feta Cheese

+

Only Sheep and Goat milk

+ Max goat milk to 30%

-

It is prohibited to manufacture Feta Cheese

from other type of milk.
