Animal breeding and genetics subprogram
The subprogram's training plan (see website) ensures that students acquire the latest knowledge in all areas of animal breeding. In addition to biological, genetic, breeding, and technological knowledge related to farm animals, hobby animals, and companion animals, students have the opportunity to learn about the scientific basis of human-animal interactions, and the possible applications of artificial intelligence and sensor technology in animal breeding. Through the announced topics, PhD students may participate in the ongoing research projects of the Institute of Animal Sciences (e.g., GINOP, NKFI ADVANCED), where they can obtain the latest knowledge also in population genomics. The various grants available through MATE (e.g., the Pannonia Scholarship) also provide opportunities for longer-term study abroad and participation in the work of international research groups.
