Projects

2024 Collaborative R&D

Improved productivity and animal welfare through low cost, early diagnosis & management of Bovine Respiratory Disease/pneumonia in dairy calves, using novel capnography techniques

1 Nov 2024 to 28 Feb 2026

Awarded
£26,985
Total cost £38,550

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD), and resulting pneumonia caused by viral and/or bacterial pathogens, is the most common disease affecting the cattle industry globally. Calf pneumonia is a cause of major economic loss, affecting over a million animals across the UK and costing the UK dairy industry ~£60-80million pa. While BRD can affect up to 50% of catt...

2023 Responsive Strategy and Planning Lead participant

CoolCows - developing and demonstrating a new model using genomics and IVF to rapidly breed more methane-efficient, sustainable cattle

1 Oct 2023 to 31 Mar 2026

Awarded
£144,188
Total cost £205,983

The environmental impact of cattle is frequently challenged, particularly with regard to methane production, yet significant variations in carbon emissions (per unit of milk or meat) exist between countries, farming systems, herds and individual animals. This project utilises the latest technology to determine and demonstrate the best model in breeding ca...

2021 Collaborative R&D

Use of parthenogenetic embryos or trophoblastic vesicles to improve dairy-cow fertility following artificial insemination

1 Nov 2021 to 31 Jul 2024

Awarded
£171,010
Total cost £244,300

The global demand for dairy products continues to grow (combination of increased per capita consumption by 20%, and an increase in population to 9 billion by 2050, FAO), and this demand must be met in an efficient and environmentally sustainable manner. This project will support early pregnancy establishment in lactating dairy cows by the use of either tr...

2020 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Improving bovine in vitro embryo production through follicular flushing and next generation embryo culture

1 Jun 2020 to 30 Nov 2020

Awarded
£34,874
Total cost £34,874

no public description

2019 BIS-Funded Programmes Lead participant

Genetic improvement of cattle in Zimbabwe utilising advanced breeding technologies

1 Aug 2019 to 31 Mar 2022

Awarded
£33,030
Total cost £47,186

Genetic improvement is imperative to increase the efficiency of milk and meat production in developing countries, improving the availability of healthy nutritious food, maximising feed efficiency and minimising environmental impacts. Utilising genomic selection, ovum pick-up (OPU) and in-vitro embryo production (IVP) routine selection and breeding is acce...

2019 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Improving bovine in vitro embryo production through follicular flushing and next generation embryo culture

1 May 2019 to 31 Jan 2023

Awarded
£237,817
Total cost £339,738

"Significant advances are being made in technologies associated with cattle breeding that seek to improve production efficiency, animal health and welfare whilst minimising environmental impact. These advances are motivated, in part, by the increased global demand for milk and beef, and a public desire that this is achieved in a sustainable manner. This p...

2019 Knowledge Transfer Partnership

University of Nottingham (The) and Paragonvet Limited

1 Mar 2019 to 28 Feb 2022

Awarded
Unknown

To make high-throughput laser-assisted biopsy of in-vitro produced bovine embryos available to commercial breeders in order to undertake genetic evaluation prior to transfer. It will also determine if the techniques involved can improve pregnancy rates of non-biopsied embryos.

2013 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Optimising the Delivery of Superior Genetics through Advanced Genomic Selection of Bovine Embryos

1 Dec 2013 to 31 May 2017

Awarded
£194,624
Total cost £324,374

This project will apply advanced breeding technologies to produce (both in-vivo and in-vitro) pre-implantation bovine embryos from which biopsies will be taken to interrogate their genomic makeup using single nucleotide polymorphism arrays (SNP chips). It is currently possible to screen dairy and beef cattle genomically, but responses to selection are imp...

2012 Vouchers Lead participant

To develop an Enterprise Platform for Embryo Inventory Management, using a bespoke software system. The software will be designed to offer a multi access, web based database for veterinary advanced breeding technologies with both sheep and cattle.

1 Nov 2012 to 31 Mar 2013

Awarded
£5,000
Total cost £5,000

To develop an Enterprise Platform for Embryo Inventory Management, using a bespoke software system. The software will be designed to offer a multi access, web based database for veterinary advanced breeding technologies with both sheep and cattle.

2011 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Applying Advanced Breeding Technologies to Amplify and Distribute Bovine Genetics to Increase Production Efficiency and Sustainability

1 Dec 2011 to 30 Nov 2016

Awarded
£216,704
Total cost £480,229

This project will apply advanced breeding technologies to amplify and distribute bovine genetics to increase production efficiency and sustainability. Strand 1;- Utilisation of "ovum pickup" (OPU) and "in-vitro embryo production" (IVP) to accelerate the speed of genetic gain in cattle (3 times faster than "multiple ovulation embryo transfer" (MOET) and 12...
