1 The added value of molecular phenotypes: towards the identification of animal welfare proxies Luca Fontanesi Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences Division of Animal Sciences University of Bologna Bologna, Italy

2 The added value of molecular phenotypes: towards the identification of animal welfare proxies.. for breeding and selection purposes

3 Animal welfare is a multi-dimensional concept: From a pure biological approach: Behaviour Physiology Immunology Biochemistry

4 Our omics study in pigs It combines: Metabolomics Genomics Hypothesis free approach Hypothesis generating approach

5 Metabolomics measures all endogenous metabolites of a tissue or body fluid under given conditions (i.e.metabolome) From Junot et al. 2014

6 Metabolomics (Genomics free)
