GC4SHEEP intends to develop at least 2 final products, one online with a federated data platform and the other based on the implementation of various technologies to improve sheep reproduction and the selection of males and females, such as the use of mid-infrared (MIR) and the use of novel diluents through the sharing of protocols for the heaviest dairy sheep breeds at the national level (around 90% of dairy sheep). This is a novel initiative, with data analytics by flag in a very traditional sector and that will allow, by opening new fields of research and development of genomic improvements that will have to be completed in this line in the future thanks to the information collected by the network of project collaborators.

Projects of the operational groups of the European Innovation Partnership (EIP), co-financed with the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) in the framework of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) of Galicia 2014-2020.
