The emergence of highly resistant tick populations has led to an unprecedented failure of the available acaricides to protect livestock against ticks, compromising sustainable animal production and food security in the affected regions.
Genomic selection has transformed animal and plant breeding in high-income countries globally, resulting in economic, social and environmental benefits worth billions of dollars annually to those countries. Extending the benefits of genomic selection to livestock in low-middle income countries through reference populations and cross-country collaborations needs to be explored.
This webinar is part of a series hosted by the Community of Practice on acaricide resistance management of livestock ticks. They give an opportunity for members to learn about innovations and innovative technologies for ticks and acaricide resistance management in livestock and to share their ideas about gaps, needs and priorities in research and innovation.
