SABRE Conference @ EAAP

4 th SABRE Conference integrated with 60 th EAAP Annual Meeting

SABRE previously organised 3 conferences to disseminate the plans and results of the project:

“Sustainable Animal Breeding” (September 2006), “Genomics for Animal Health” (June 2007 in

collaboration with EADGENE - European Animal Disease Genomics Network of Excellence) and

“Welfare and Quality Genomics” (September, 2008).

We would like to thank the organising committees of EAAP for the opportunity to integrate the

4th SABRE Conference into the 60th EAAP Annual Meeting We are very pleased that over 30 papers

which stated “These results are obtained through the EC-funded FP6 project SABRE.” have been

accepted by the EAAP committees to be presented in the poster halls and lecture theatres These papers will be presented throughout various sessions, in an effort to reach the audiences who are interested in the subjects dealt within the SABRE project

The following pages will provide you with a first insight into the project For further details we invite you to attend the SABRE presentations or to visit www.sabre-eu.eu

Cutting Edge Genomics for Sustainable Animal Breeding

Animal breeders have made considerable progress in recent decades in improving the economic efficiency of food production (this is one of the reasons the real price of food has fallen), but in recent years animal breeding has become more complex with breeders needing to broaden their breeding objectives Nowadays breeders want to improve a wide range of traits, such as product quality, welfare related fitness traits and disease resistance Many of these traits are difficult or expensive to measure and this is where the science of genomics is valuable Through research such

as the SABRE project, scientists are beginning to unravel which genes and which variants of these genes are important to explaining the genetic component of these new selection traits ‘Sustainable Animal BREeding’ is the main focus of the SABRE Integrated Research Project

The European Integrated Research Project “SABRE” (Cutting Edge Genomics for Sustainable Animal BREeding) is an innovative four-year, €23 million pan-European project which utilises the latest techniques in genetic science to develop more economically and environmentally sustainable production systems for cattle, pigs and chickens The ‘headline’ objectives of the project are:

• To provide fundamental knowledge on the genomics and epigenetics relating to livestock

• To provide understanding of biological systems central to sustainability

• To identify genes and markers allowing focused breeding for sustainability goals

• To demonstrate the effectiveness of genomics for sustainable breeding

• To disseminate existing knowledge and new results to the user community

• To develop skills and training to best capitalise on new genomics knowledge

Thirty three leading animal breeding research groups and businesses have joined forces in the project which commenced in April 2006 and has been made possible by a €13.9 million grant under Thematic Priority 5, “Food Quality and Safety”, of the 6th Research Framework Programme

Food Quality and Safety

epigenetic science to generate new knowledge and apply it in practical breeding improvement strategies throughout Europe.

SABRE will provide the fundamental knowledge of the genomics and epigenetics of animal health, food safety and food quality traits of livestock species, together with the strategies to deliver such technologies for use in selection This will enable producers to move animal breeding and production towards more sustainable, environmentally and welfare friendly, low-input systems, that deliver safe and high quality foods in line with consumer expectations and European Policy.Our overall strategy is to combine the power of gene mapping technologies, gene expression studies in target tissues and modern bioinformatics tools with available and expanded genome sequences, to determine the origin of genetic variation in key traits in important livestock species These new breeding strategies will help industry improve animal health and welfare, adopt lower chemical and energy inputs, reduce livestock waste and pollution, produce safer and better quality foods whilst maintaining biodiversity and economic sustainability The project will undoubtedly have a lasting positive impact on the EU animal breeding industry, scientific community, farmers and consumers long after its completion in 2010

SABRE is designed to provide a range of new breeding strategies to improve animal health and welfare; reduce chemical and energy inputs; minimise livestock waste and pollution; and, maximise food safety and quality The mammary gland, the digestive system and fertility are the focus

of separate basic research packages, with more applied research aimed at enhancing eggshell quality for food safety; improving animal behaviour linked to welfare; and eliminating boar taint

in pig meat Three Work Packages address underpinning science, these are; numerical genomics, epigenetics and genomics with bioinformatics

Finally, we have activity on demonstration of genome-wide selection in dairy cattle, and coordinated activity on training/mobility and dissemination of project outcomes
