Naira Karapetyan, Director of the Eurasian Economic Commission's Agricultural Policy Department, informed about the introduction of innovative approaches to improve the efficiency of agricultural production and marketing of competitive products within the Eurasian Economic Union at the round table “Genetics. In Simple Words About Important Things” as part of the All-Russian Field Day 2025 exhibition in Volgograd Region.
“The main direction at the present stage should be the joint actions of the Union countries and the Commission on large-scale introduction into the breeding and pedigree work of the methodology to predict the breeding value of farm animals on the basis of genomic analysis,” Naira Karapetyan noted.
During the exhibition events, they discussed some plans for developing the pedigree livestock breeding, modern opportunities for preserving domestic selection achievements, and ways to improve the genetic potential of dairy cattle.
The round table attendees exchanged information on the results of implementing the methodology for assessing the breeding value of animals, as well as considered the state and prospects for developing the market of pedigree resources within the Union.
The need to apply unified approaches to the collection and accounting of genotypic and phenotypic traits of pedigree animals to assess their breeding value and increase the production of own competitive pedigree products was noted. Naira Karapetyan emphasized the importance of coordinated actions to achieve common objectives for sustainable development of livestock breeding.
