The Institute of Genetics and Cytology offers consumers services for the analysis of DNA identification of mutations that determine the fertility of Holstein (Holsteinized) cattle under an outsourcing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.

The method of DNA identification of mutations reveals haplotypes that affect the fertility of Holstein (Holsteinized) cattle: HH1 (APAF1 gene); HH3 (SMC2 gene); HH4 (GART gene); HH5 (TFB1M gene); HCD (APOB gene); HHO (FANCI gene); HHB (BLAD gene); HHC (CVM gene).

The frequency of occurrence of fertility haplotypes, negatively associated with reproductive abilities, was determined in a sample of individuals from the population of the Holstein (Holsteinized) breed of cattle in Belarus.

Based on the study, recommendations are issued on the exclusion from the breeding process of animals - latent carriers of unwanted recessive mutations, which reduces the spread in the cattle population of carriers of genes that determine early and postembryonic mortality of calves.

The Institute is the leading research center of the republic in the field of genetics, genomics, and biotechnology. The activity of the institute is aimed at the development and implementation of modern DNA technologies for the genetic certification of humans, plants, and animals. For these purposes, fundamental and applied research is carried out, the results of which are in demand in the real sector of the economy.

The Institute has concluded agreements on scientific and technical cooperation with organizations in Bulgaria, Georgia, Spain, Kazakhstan, China, Poland, Russia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Estonia, etc.

The Institute has a quality management system that is certified for compliance with the international standard STB ISO 9001-2015.

The institute's quality management system applies to the implementation of:
• research activities,
• innovative activities,
• training of highly qualified scientific workers,
• carrying out genetic testing of plants, animals, humans,
microorganisms, food, and food raw materials.

Consumers of services for the analysis of DNA identification of mutations that determine the fertility of Holstein (Holsteinized) cattle under an outsourcing agreement.
