Recent Genetic, Breeding and Biotechnology Techniques for Improving Livestock Production
Journal Title: International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Techniques of modern biology such as molecular cloning of genes, gene transfer and genetic manipulation of animal are a truth today and are finding their ways into research and development programmes. We need to stay abreast of new techniques because the practice of livestock breeding changes with advances in technology. We modified the way we measure and evaluate animals as we came to understand Mendelian mechanisms and as we developed statistical procedures for dealing with quantitative traits. Biotechnology is offering extraordinary opportunities for increasing livestock production.
