Les indices génétiques sont aussi morphologiques ! - Margot Sabbagh & Germain Lory

Planning crossbreeding is a complex exercise: performance, conformation, gaits, temperament, genetic diseases—so many questions to consider, with answers that aren't always simple. How can I best improve the conformation of my mares? This is a question many of you are asking. Just as athletic performance uses performance and genetic indices, there are easy-to-use tools for breeders related to conformation and gaits. In this webinar, we will see how data collected in the field, thanks to breeders, allows us to construct genetic conformation indices. Then, we will see how to use them to improve conformation traits.
