Advanced Statistical Tools for Analysis of Animal Breeding Data
The National Training Programme on “Advanced Statistical Tools for Analysis of Animal Breeding Data” will be organized from 10th March to 30th March 2012 under the aegis of Centre of Advanced Faculty Training in Animal Genetics and Breeding at Division of Dairy Cattle Breeding, National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal (Haryana).
The rapid increase in computing power during the past had a substantial impact on analysis of animal breeding data. Early statistical models were mostly from the class of linear models, but powerful computers, coupled with suitable numerical algorithms, caused an increased interest in nonlinear models (such as neural networks) as well as generalized linear models. The participants attending this training programme will have the opportunity of getting on-bench practical training in different aspects of generation and analysis of animal breeding data. The application of software packages like SAS, SYSTAT, MATLAB, Micro-soft Excel, DFREML, WOMBAT etc. shall be taken up in practical sessions. The theory lectures will also be delivered by invited subject matter specialists on AnGR of India, breed improvement strategies, performance recording systems, part lactation, test day milk yield models, molecular markers and embryo biotechnology. The participants are also required to deliver a talk on the topic related to their present research work for effective interaction among faculty and participants.
This training programme is open to all those who are below 50 years of age and possess Ph.D./ Master's degree in any branch of Animal Sciences preferably engaged in teaching and research in the areas of Animal Genetics and Breeding and Livestock Production. Twenty five seats are available for programme and interested candidates should send their applications (as per given format) to the Programme Coordinator latest by 2nd February 2012 (Advance copy) and 10th February 2012 (through proper channel). The selected candidates will be informed by 12th February, 2012. It is further informed that all those candidates selected earlier may not apply afresh but confirm their participation in the rescheduled training programme at the earliest under intimation to their office.
FEE
There is no fee for the training programme.
TRAVEL
The participants will be paid to and fro railway/bus fare as per their entitlement for the class of travel (on production of tickets) by the shortest route restricted to maximum of AC II class.
ACCOMMODATION
Free boarding and lodging will be provided at Scientists' Home of the Institute.
