1 Dairy cattle breeding in Europe: diversity of organizations and governance models - X.DAVID UNCEIA May 5th, 2014
2 Dairy cattle breeding in Europe: diversity of organizations and governance models - Plan - Context of dairy cattle breeding in Europe Diversity of the organizations Perspectives
3 Context
4 Distribution of dairy cattle in Europe Number of dairy cows / km²
5 European Dairy cattle breeding faced many breakthroughs recently 2007: semen sexing 2008: Genomic selection New national breeding legislation 2007: France 2013: Germany Since 2000: Restructurating of the coops Fewer but bigger and transnational companies
6 European Dairy cattle breeding Mostly breeders owned companies: cooperatives Specialization: only one species: cattle Production dedicated to Home-market A long history of innovations : Milk recording Embryo transfer Genomics
7 European Dairy cattle industry: breed diversity Key figures Number of dairy cows World > 253 mil. Europe (EU-27) > 23 mil. Yield (kg/an) 2,394 6, % Friesian type cows 40 % non-friesian type cows (Montbéliarde, Fleckvieh, Brown Swiss, 29 separate breeding populations (including local breeds) Alternative to the unique HO model
8 Different Breeding goals within holstein breed Total Merit Index in 4 countries for Holstein Type Udder health Other Diversified genetics
9 Diversity of Organizations
10 European Dairy cattle industry: still a diversity of national organizations EU legislation on zootechnics Strong impact of Member states Still some state fundings
11 Germany: Federal organisation Holstein North & East Fleckvieh South Breeder s Organizations: AI + breeding One breeder s owned calculation center: vit Milk recording associations Many local organizations AI companies, Breeding association, milk recording Still funded by Bavarian state One state calculation center Key points: Split into 2 different regions and breeds: North: a few big organizations South: fragmented organizations with state funding Routinely, Genomic Evaluation is run by calculation centers
12 France: a central national organization French Livestock Genetics for Ruminants One single database: all breeds / all species UNCEIA Federation of Milkrecording associations Federation of breeds associations National Organization for Registration Key points: Inspired by the Breeding Law 66 Organized by mission regionally and nationally One single database and one single calculation center State funding through mission Breeding companies + AI centers Regional Milk and beef recording associations One Breeders association per breed regional organizations for registration Routinely, Genomic evaluation is run by INRA and UNCEIA
13 Viking: a transnational organization Vikingdenmar k AI service Swensk AI service Calculation center NAV Vikinggenetics Faba AI service + Milkrecording Key points Strong common identity: Nordic countries One breeding goal for 3 countries One common calculation center for all breeds Breeding Routinely, Genomic evaluation is run by the calculation center NAV
14 Netherlands: 1single organization Calculatio n Centre Breeder s Association Breeding company +AI Service Milk recording System Key points Extremly centralised One main dairy breed: Holstein No state subsidies Routinely, Genomic evaluation is run by
15 Perspectives
16 After 50 years of breeding Key assets: High quality genetics available for all breeders Diversity of genetics Data Quality especially fitness traits Genetics still belong to breeders owned organizations
17 New sources of data
18 New challenges : New entrants in cattle genetics
19 New challenges: EU zootechnicallegislation discussed CONSEIL DE L'UNION EUROPÉENNE Bruxelles, le 13 février 2014 (OR. en) 6445/14 Dossier interinstitutionnel: 2014/0032 (COD) AGRI 99 VETER 16 AGRILEG 33 ANIMAUX 10 CODEC 419 NOTE DE TRANSMISSION Origine: Pour le Secrétaire général de la Commission européenne, Monsieur Jordi AYET PUIGARNAU, Directeur Date de réception: 11 février 2014 Destinataire: N doc.
