In Eurasian Economic Union requirements in the field of breeding business will be unified

B Eurasian Economic Union (Eurasian Economic Union) will develop system of genomic selection. Its introduction and production will allow to accelerate genetic progress in cattle breeding, to determine the breeding value of calfs at early age with probability of 70% and more, and also four times to reduce costs for carrying out an assessment and the maintenance of manufacturing bulls. The director of the department of agro-industrial policy of Euroasian economic commission) Stanislas Buben at the Topical Issues and <6> New Technologies <8> Developments Breeding Animal Husbandry in <3> Republic of Belarus conference which has taken place within the 28th international specialized exhibitions "BELAGRO-2018". " the Annual economy of means only due to cut in expenditure on an assessment and the maintenance of manufacturing bulls to Russian Federation and Belarus will make

to 20 million dollars a year. It without taking note of genetic progress the effect from which repeatedly exceeds this sum. We plan to start system development next year ", – the director of the department of Euroasian economic commission emphasized.

the Representative of the Commission also noted that from 2012 to 2017 to Eurasian Economic Union is imported breeding production for the sum more than 3 billion US dollars from which 47% fall to the share of cattle.

to change this tendency, Euroasian economic commission developed the draft agreement on measures for unification of selection and breeding work with agricultural animals within Eurasian Economic Union. In provisions of the document orders of carrying out approbation of the created new types, lines (breeds) and cross-countries of agricultural animals, molecular genetic examination of breeding animals, determination of their breed breeding, techniques of an assessment of their breeding value, and also structure of data on breeding animals and selection achievements which member states will exchange are recorded.

Besides, Euroasian economic commission together with the profile ministries and the scientific organizations of the Union continues work on standardization of requirements in the field of breeding business.

" until the end of 2018 it is planned to develop uniform techniques of an assessment of breeding value of agricultural animals with use of a method of the best linear not displaced forecast (BLUP) and in the long term to pass to use of genomic selection. The Euroasian coordination council and the analytical centers for breeding animal husbandry " will be for this purpose created, – Stanislas Buben reported.

the Director of the department of Euroasian economic commission expressed to

confidence that use of the advanced technologies in selection process of breeds of animals divorced in the Union synchronizes breeding work within Eurasian Economic Union, will allow to increase efficiency of productions animal husbandry production due to growth of genetic potential of animals.
