Modeling from organs to herd and resource allocation_2020-21

Objectifs:The goal is to provide students with a good command of modeling applied to biological functions in animals, which will be considered at different levels of organization.Contenu :* Basic knowledge on specific biological functions with a focus on lactation and reproduction.* Expression of these functions from molecular level to the level of the herd.* Comparison and specificity of production animals vs pets (physiology and physiopathology)* Main concepts of systemic applied to living dynamic systems.* Modeling methodology: knowledge representation tools, case object modeling, discrete events based models, ordinary differential equations.* Genetic and phenotypic data processing, meta-analysis and methodology in relation with model parameterization and calibration.
