Short description of project
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 goatmilk products via a consistent supply of hormone-free goat’s milk all year round. Due to constraints related to the seasonality of reproduction of the female goats, the project should imperatively start in the month of December 2009.
Short description of the task performed by Croatian partner
Our task is to characterise the ovulatory response to the male effect with and without photoperiodic treatments. Task 1 will be to determine if a photoperiodic treatment of females and/or of males is necessary to improve the response to the male effect throughout the seasonal anoestrus. This study concerns goats conducted in intensive and semi-intensive systems. This sub-task will be carried out in Saanen goats at a moment during anoestrus (the beginning of September) in which the benefits of photoperiodic treatments for improving the response to the male effect are not clear. Task 2: we will study several male management strategies in order to improve, simplify and standardize the male effect protocol. This task will be carried out in Saanen goats. Task 3: Applying prostaglandin - based AI Protocols using the male effect for inducing and synchronising ovulations. According to details described in the approach (control / experimental groups dimensions, methodology applied), in on - farm protocol validation of the new protocol will be performed during the anoestrus season, with or without photoperiodic treatment and during the breeding season without photoperiodic treatments. Task 4: Dissemination of scientific results to the R&D community via publications and conference presentations; dissemination and communication of the project objectives, events and achievements to the general public, stakeholders and policy makers; Developing and delivering training materials (DVD); Developing technical and practical guides; IPR Management and project exploitation; Development of a business model for European Technical Group in Goat reproduction.
