Learning outcomes
|
Special animal genetics is aimed at specific fields , e.g. species, traits. The content of the subject will be specied for Ph.D. student according to the topic of the doctoral thesis. In general, the goal is to give knowledge of new trends in animal genetics, gene analysis, genetic background of economically important traits and the use of genetics in breeding practice.
According to the aiming of doctoral thesis the subject could include for individual student genetics of cattle, pig, horse, sheep, goat, poultry microorganisms etc. Similarly i molecular genetics the aiming could be on the cattle, pig etc. The content will be specialized individually for the student.
