genetic improvement in livestock
Genetic improvement in livestock refers to the deliberate and systematic selection and breeding of animals with desired traits to enhance their productivity, health, and overall quality, while also maintaining genetic diversity. This process aims to optimize genetic characteristics in livestock populations through the use of advanced breeding techniques, such as artificial insemination and genetic testing, to produce superior and more resilient animals for agricultural purposes.
