Peter
Amer is a specialist in animal breeding with particular interest in the
economic evaluation of breeding strategies. He is involved in the
application of genetics in a wide range of farmed species including
sheep, beef cattle and deer, both in New Zealand and internationally.
He also consults in aquacultural breeding strategies (salmon and
shellfish) and tactical manipulation of breeding scheme designs are
also
areas of his expertise.
Peter obtained his PhD in Animal Breeding in Canada and has since
worked in Switzerland, the UK and more recently for AgResearch in New
Zealand.
Peter is particularly interested in advising breeding programmes on
mate selection and allocation. An example application is
ANI-MATE, currently used by a growing
number of the top breeders to increase genetic progress and manage
risks
associated with inbreeding.
