The Scientific and Practical Center for Animal Husbandry offers consumers DNA testing services for farm animals to improve their productivity, import substitution, and food security гтвук an outsourcing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The use of DNA testing results in agricultural practice allows predicting the level of animal productivity at an early age, conducting selection for the elimination of hereditary anomalies and reducing the level of infectious diseases in populations, increasing the indicators of productive traits, assessing the state of gene pools, maintaining the genetic diversity of small breeds, preserving valuable genetic resources, determining the tactics and strategy of breeding and further improving breeds.

Scope.
According to the Law of the Republic of Belarus "On Breeding in Animal Husbandry", breeding animals used for breed reproduction are subject to mandatory genetic examination with the registration of genetic certificates, which confirm the origin of the animals, reflecting the results of DNA diagnostics of hereditary diseases.

In animal husbandry, information on the genotype of animals is widely used as an effective tool for monitoring and managing the genetic structures of lines, populations, breeds in order to more accurately model the selection process and predict its results, ensuring the growth of animal productivity, which makes it possible to increase the level of import substitution and competitiveness of domestic breeding products.

The information is posted in the “Album of promising developments of the organizations of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for the real sector of the economy” (2023), pp. 475 - 476. (in Russian)

The development corresponds to the best world analogues, its use in breeding practice allows to increase the productivity of animals, to form herds free from hereditary and resistant to infectious diseases.

Analysis of the genotype of farm animals allows to purposefully form the genetic structure of populations, providing a high level of productivity, which makes it possible to obtain competitive products and increase the indicators of economically useful traits by 15-20%.

Use of the development does not entail the occurrence of emergency situations, negative consequences, environmental pollution.

Service provider - Republican Unitary Enterprise "Scientific and Practical Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for Animal Husbandry".

The Scientific and Practical Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for Animal Husbandry is the only scientific center in the country conducting research in the field of selection, reproduction, maintenance technology and effective feeding rations for farm animals. It coordinates the activities of four subsidiary unitary enterprises. The main goal of the Scientific and Practical Center is to concentrate the scientific potential of the republic on increasing the efficiency of animal husbandry through comprehensive scientific research and the introduction of scientific developments into production, their author's support, as well as improving the skills of animal husbandry specialists through courses, seminars, conferences, postgraduate and doctoral studies.

The main areas of scientific and scientific-technical activities of the organization are:
- Carrying out fundamental and applied research aimed at developing effective methods for accelerated breed formation and reproduction of farm animals;
- Improving the breeding of new breeds, crosses, types and lines of farm animals (dairy and beef cattle, pigs, horses and sheep), birds and fish bred in the republic;
- Development of environmentally friendly technologies for feeding, keeping, reproducing and using animals, ensuring maximum manifestation of their genetic potential with minimum expenditure of labor, energy and feed;
- Development of new compositions of compound feed and feed additives based on local sources of raw materials;
- Finding ways to increase the efficiency of transforming feed energy into livestock products;
- Development of therapeutic, preventive and diagnostic veterinary drugs;
- Improving the technology of feeding, keeping and using animals, birds and fish;
- Training of scientific personnel and advanced training of zootechnical specialists.
