Animal Breeding and Genetics Course
Master the science behind genetic improvement in livestock, from Mendelian inheritance to genomic selection and CRISPR applications. This course gives animal scientists, breeders, and geneticists the quantitative tools and practical frameworks needed to design high-performing breeding programmes. If you work with livestock genetics professionally, this is the most comprehensive training available.

What will I learn?
You will build a thorough understanding of animal genetics, starting with cell biology and inheritance and advancing through population genetics, quantitative trait analysis, and breeding value estimation. You will learn to apply the breeder's equation, design crossbreeding systems, and manage inbreeding in commercial and nucleus herds. The course covers genomic selection using SNP arrays, GBLUP, and GWAS, as well as bioinformatics tools for processing large-scale genomic data. You will also evaluate reproductive technologies, genetic disease management, and the ethical and regulatory dimensions of modern breeding. By the end, you will be equipped to build, run, and adapt complete livestock breeding programmes.
