Breeding and Genetics

Animal breeding is a discipline of animal science concerned with determining the genetic value of domestic cattle in terms of estimated breeding value (EBV). Animals having better EBVs in growth rate, egg, meat, milk, or wool production, as well as other significant desired qualities, have been selected for breeding. Agricultural cattle production has been transformed all over the world as a result of this. The branch of science dealing with optimising desired genetic features, such as raising animals with leaner meat, is known as animal breeding, genetics, and genomics. Animal geneticists have discovered genes that can improve an animal's development, health, and ability to absorb nutrition. These genetic advancements have the potential to improve output while lowering environmental impact. Animals and livestock account for 40% of global agricultural output and support the livelihoods and food security of almost a billion people around the world. Advances in animal breeding, genetics, and genomics are allowing the industry to become more efficient.
