The aim of this advanced seminar is to develop your own breeding strategies using color genetics, based on the latest findings from research and breeding practice. Breeding and effective selection using color genetics goes far beyond simply knowing the color genotype and calculating possible color genotypes of offspring.

Participation in a basic seminar is a prerequisite for this seminar. Personal consultation is also included in this seminar.
