January 16, 2013, the 3rd Congress of France Génétique Elevage brought together over 200 participants, with the theme "At the crossroads of digital technology and biotechnology, the animal genetics: a lever for European competitiveness."

Animal genetics faces an unprecedented upheaval as a result of two phenomena: the explosion production data availability from farms, experimental stations and laboratories, and an extremely rapid progress of science and tools to understand and influence the functioning of the genome.

These changes, as major levers of competitiveness supporting both farmers and the industry have been illustrated by six interventions and discussed at two roundtables, bringing together experts and representatives, national and international, of animal genetics and information systems.

All interventions is available for download.
