INPASS. Research on sustainable and healthy agro-livestock production
A25_23R

The INPASS group aims to strengthen the role of livestock, and the agriculture and food industry associated with it, in the rural development of Aragon.​

To do this, it addresses aspects related to genetics, reproduction, health, feeding and general management of herds, as well as their repercussions on the quality of Aragonese livestock products.

What do we do?
  • Optimization of livestock systems:​

               - Food: diets optimized by productive status, with functional capacity and that promote the circular economy​

               - Genetics: genes and markers related to productive traits and disease resistance, use in selection schemes​

               - Reproduction: sustainable improvement of the reproductive efficiency of herds​

  • Improving the quality and marketing of products of animal origin: management and technology
