Prof. Dr Jonas \u010cepinskis (1893\u20131961) until 1960.&nbsp; Assoc. Prof. Dr Jonas \u010cepinskis trained many highly qualified animal husbandry specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1960, Prof. Jonas Kuosa (1925\u20131999) became the Head of the Department. During his office, in 1989, the Department was renamed the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics. Prof. J. Kosa\u2019s research focused on Lithuanian Black-and-White cattle and the improvement of their economic traits. He was the pioneer of the efforts to conserve the gene pool of indigenous cattle breeds. Ten doctoral dissertations were successfully defended under his supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 1991 to 1996, the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics was headed by Assoc. Prof. Dr Alfonsas Kirvela (1950\u20131996). His research focused on Lithuanian Black-and-White and Lithuanian Red cattle breeds and their selection traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 1996 to 2001, the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics was headed by Assoc. Prof. Dr Vida Juozaitien\u0117, the initiator of the Laboratory for Animal Breeding Value Research and Selection, established under the Department in 1998. She also began the implementation of the BLUP linear prediction method for estimating the breeding values of Lithuanian animal populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 2001 to 2011, the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics and its Dr K. Janu\u0161auskas Laboratory of Animal Genetics were headed by Prof. Dr Ilona Teodora Miceikien\u0117.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2011, Prof. Dr Vida Juozaitien\u0117 returned as Head of the Department. Following a reorganisation of the University\u2019s units that year, the Department was restructured: the Dr K. Janu\u0161auskas Laboratory of Animal Genetics was separated from it, the Department was renamed the Department of Animal Breeding, with Prof. Dr Vida Juozaitien\u0117 re-elected as its Head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2014, the Departments of Animal Breeding and Animal Nutrition were merged to form the Department of Animal Breeding and Nutrition, headed by Prof. Vida Juozaitien\u0117. In 2018, the Department of Animal Breeding was reinstated, with Assoc. Prof. Dr Giedrius Palubinskas elected as its Head.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"prose md:prose-lg\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2>OUR ACTIVITIES<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tabs-h mt-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"js-tabs full-color-tabs\">\n\t\t\t\t                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"current\" id=\"studies\"><a href=\"#tab-01\">STUDIES<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li  id=\"research\"><a href=\"#tab-02\">RESEARCH<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li  id=\"collaboration\"><a href=\"#tab-03\">COLLABORATION<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tab-c bordered active\" id=\"tab-01\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"prose md:prose-lg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Courses delivered by the Department under the Bachelor&#8217;s study programme in Animal Husbandry Technology:<\/p>\n<p>Animal Breeding as the study of the origin, evolution, ontogeny and phylogeny of animals, the creation and structure of breeds.<\/p>\n<p>Elective courses: Basics of Research and Innovation (analysis of research data, types of statistical methods, selection of statistical methods, etc.);

The Laboratory organises international conferences and seminars. Within the framework of the APIIS project, the potgreSql database for the national pig breeding information system and the methodology for genetic evaluation by BLUP method were developed. The Laboratory has produced 14 doctoral theses and one habilitation procedure.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tab-c bordered \" id=\"tab-03\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"prose md:prose-lg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The researchers at the Department collaborate with Lithuanian and foreign research and higher education institutions: the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Lithuania, the Chamber of Agriculture of the Republic of Lithuania, the Lithuanian Agricultural Advisory Service, agricultural companies, farmers, and associations of breed improvers;
