Question 37174 — breeding

Summary

Mr. Jean-Claude Leclabart draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the following elements. Two cooperatives work on red pie breeding, one in France (the Evolution cooperative known as OS (selection organization) by the administration and located near Rennes) and the other is a Dutch cooperative CRV working on the pure red MRY pie and on the red and white, which is a cross of the MRY with red Holstein blood. Today there are exchanges between them at the level of genomic data and some bulls, corresponding to the breed selection scheme dictated by the breed leaders. Some breeders (notably Dutch breeders based in Normandy) would like to access Dutch genetics to improve criteria on their VLs. They placed an order with Gen France, a subsidiary of Evolution, which asks them for the sum of 1,000 euros for each bull outside the OS's choices. According to them, it would be the breeding institute which would request this sum for registration in the herd book. Before 2008 it was the UPRA which was responsible for this registration mission, today after the suppression of the UPRA, which became breeders' associations, they have lost all power because the administration now only subsidizes the OS and nor the breeders' associations. To function, these associations are therefore dependent on the OS which impose their choices on breeders. He wants to know his opinion on the subject.
