Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'FLOCK-REPROD will provide the European dairy goat industry with the innovative, economically and environmentally-viable technology necessary to enable the hormone-free production of goat’s milk and related products (e.g. cheese). It will achieve this by controlling reproduction via artificial insemination (AI) all year round. FLOCK-REPROD technology will allow the EU dairy goat industry to operate in full conformity with EC regulation (96/22/EC) which restricts the use of exogenous hormones (currently used by the majority of dairy goat breeders using AI) and which will be reinforced more strictly in the very near future. In this manner, FLOCK-REPROD will ensure the future sustainability of the industry from both an economical and ecological perspective. FLOCK-REPROD will enable the EU dairy goat industry to respond to the growing demand for goat-milk products including organic goat-milk products via a consistent supply of hormone-free goat’s milk all year round.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Recent EU legislation has placed limits on the use of hormones during goat breeding, prompting researchers to investigate alternative strategies.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Goat breeders in the EU face a growing demand for goat milk products, coupled with new, stricter legislation.
Until now, conventional goat breeding has relied on hormones called progestagens to improve the efficiency of artificial insemination (AI).The EU-funded 'Hormone-free non-seasonal or seasonal goat reproduction for a sustainable European goat-milk market' (http://www.flock-reprod.eu (FLOCK-REPROD)) project aimed to address this situation by developing novel progestagen-free strategies.
The project focused on the 11 most common goat breeds in 7 EU countries.Researchers investigated the influence of male presence and photoperiod (amount of light in a day) on female ovulation in various breeds and at different times of year.
In addition, female diets were studied for improved ovulation.Three new AI protocols were developed using the information gathered.
Two of these used a non-restricted hormone (prostaglandin), while the third was a hormone-free protocol developed specifically for organic farmers.The protocols were tested and validated on several farms around the EU.
Several events were then held and a training manual and video were developed to improve dissemination of these strategies to farmers.
