Breeding and Genetics<\/h1>\n

Our Mission<\/h3>\n

We combine research, teaching, and outreach to meet the CSU land-grant mission while improving the genetics of economically important livestock. Our group conducts collaborative projects in livestock and equine genetics. We have several programs investigating genetically important elements of large animal health and performance.<\/p>\n

We use genetic evaluation, genomic technology and improvement programs as part of our research regimen. And have succeeded in developing novel techniques like EPD in reproduction, feed utilization, health, adaptability and carcass merit.<\/p>\n

Equine Genetics Research<\/h2>\n

We use modern laboratory DNA and RNA extraction techniques, PCR an other molecular biotechnologies to identify candidate genes affecting traits of interest.<\/p>\n

We also profile tissue specific gene expression and whole genome and microbiome sequencing to get the broadest understanding of how traits are affected by physiology and environment.<\/p>\n

Seedstock Breeding and Genetics<\/h2>\n

Students enrolled in elective seedstock courses<\/a> or the Seedstock Team<\/a> play an integral role in the breeding, marketing, and management of the CSU purebred beef herds at ARDEC<\/a>. They are actively involved in data collection and management, breeding and marketing decisions, advertising and social media, and representing CSU at industry events.<\/p>\n

Students in this program have distinct career and educational goals but share interests in beef cattle production, livestock marketing, data and record keeping. As a group they experience the richness of our hands-on learning curriculum and productive engagement with industry where they can begin building their professional networks a they step into the next phase of their education and careers.<\/p>\n
