8. Product development and processing

Priorities for 2018-2019
 Native Animals R&D Program
 Application of genomics in breeding and selection
 Improvement of cultural management protocols

 Forage processing, development alternative feed ingredients and feeding
systems
 Development of animal breed registry, diagnostic protocols and test kits,
traceability systems
 Processing and product development

Priorities for 2020 onward
 Development of quality standards for dairy products
 Pilot testing and/or roll out of various technologies

C. Aquatic R&D Agenda
1. Application of genomics in the study of diseases of aquatic species, improving fish
resistance to climate change; molecular phylogenetics; population genetics
2. New cultivable species for culture
3. Development/Refinement of culture systems (broodstock management, hatchery,
nursery, grow-out)
4. Fish health, disease diagnostics and disease management
5. Nutrition, feeds and feeding systems
6. Postharvest handling, processing and new product development
7. Mechanization and automated systems for feeding, water and culture management
and post production
8. Fishkill warning and mitigation systems and environmental management for
sustainable aquaculture
9. Management of fisheries

Priorities for 2018-2019
 Genetic studies and marker development, selective breeding
 Bioinformatics analysis, population genomics
 Improving fish health and nutrition, feeds and feeding systems for improved
production performance
 Development/refinement and field testing of culture technologies on
economically important species
 Biology, ecology and stock enhancement and population studies
 Ecosystem based fisheries management
 Postharvest handling and processing
