Institute of Animal Breeding and Genetics named after M. V. Zubets of National Academy of Agrarian Science of Ukraine (IABG NAAS)

The institute of Animals Breeding and Genetics nd. a. M.V.Zubets of National Academy of Agrarian Science of Ukraine was founded in 1975 as the main scientific and coordinating center of selections and geneticists problems of agricultural animals.
For years, the existence of the collective of the Institute the row of important theoretical and applied tasks have been executed. A developed principle of a new theory and methodology of breeds forming in the stock-raising, which is based on original, first offered conceptions and found the embodiment in the programs of creation of new highly productive specialized breeds and types: Ukrainian red- and black-motley milk, Holsteined and Fatmilk types of red milk, north-eastern milk type of brown cattle. Prepared to State approbation accrued Ukrainian red and borax milk breeds from cattle. Developed programs and introduction of new meat breeds are: Ukrainian, Volinska and Poliska. Creation of Simmental and south meat breeds, and Znamyanskiy meat type is completed. The accrued selection formings do not yield to the European analogues.
Since 1996 the institute has been above all establishment of scientifically-methodical center for implementation of the scientific and technical program of NAAS “Breeding and geneticist of animals”, within the framework of which it co-ordinates scientific researches of 27 establishments on this direction.
The collective of geneticists and biotechnology of institute it is developed and offered productions: methods of control of genetic consolidation and orientation of selection process at crossing after the complex of the polymorphic genetic-biochemistry systems, new technologies of receipt of monozygotic calves-twins from the halves of embryos; of principle a new method of estimation of frost-resistance of sperm of males after biochemical indexes. Developed methods of receipt out of organism of embryos of cattle and pigs by the method of impregnation of in vitro oocytes cows with the use of cryoconservate epididimal spermatozoa of bull and hogs, activating of oocytes cows to ameisis parthenogenesis.
The institute is the main developer and performer of a new scientific and technical program of “Saving of gene pool of agricultural animals”: 11 institutes of the NAAS system are working on this direction. The creation of gene pool national bank of cattle, horse, pigs, sheep, goats, birds, fishes, bees, silkworm is begun with regional branches in Ukraine.
