List of completed projects

  1. Production of biological products (nutritional multi-enzyme, effective antibodies) in livestock and poultry (2023)
    Innovation:These products are designed to improve the overall health, growth, and productivity of livestock and poultry. Multi-enzyme supplements contain a combination of enzymes that aid in the digestion and absorption of nutrients contained in feed. These enzymes help break down complex carbohydrates, proteins and fats, improving feed efficiency and nutrient utilization. By improving digestion, these supplements contribute to better growth rates, feed conversion and overall animal health. Effective antibodies, on the other hand, are produced through biotechnological processes and are designed to boost the immune system of livestock and poultry. These antibodies target specific pathogens, such as bacteria or viruses, that commonly infect these animals. By stimulating the immune response and preventing the spread of infectious diseases, effective antibodies help improve the overall health and well-being of animals.
  2. Obtaining suitable technologies to improve production efficiency, safety, and application of candidate genes effective on performance in sheep and goats (2022)
    Innovation: To increase production efficiency, technologies such as advanced breeding techniques, genomic selection, and marker-assisted selection can be used. These methods allow breeders to identify and select animals with desirable traits, resulting in improved productivity and profitability. In addition, the use of artificial insemination and embryo transfer techniques can help accelerate genetic progress in sheep and goats. The application of candidate genes that have been shown to be effective in sheep and goats for performance traits can significantly increase productivity. Advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering have enabled the identification and manipulation of specific genes responsible for desirable traits such as meat quality, milk production, disease resistance, and reproduction. By creating transgenic animals or using gene editing techniques, these beneficial genes can be introduced into animal populations, ultimately improving overall performance.
