Equipment for the Laboratory for Molecular Genetics

In the second quarter of the project, laboratory equipment for the project was completed and installed. This equipment is now part of the Laboratory for Molecular Genetics.

The Laboratory for Molecular Genetics is part of the youngest organizational unit of the Department of Animal Sciences of the Faculty of Agriculture, whose name is Laboratory for breeding, reproduction and physiology of animals.
Its main purpose is to educate students of bachelor, master and PhD studies through practical classes in the field of Genetics and animal breeding. In addition to the basic purpose, the goal of the laboratory's development is to participate in national and international projects, and the plan is accredited primarily for the analysis of parental control in domestic animals, which greatly contributes to increasing the efficiency of breeding programs.
