Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit

The Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit focuses on understanding the genetic makeup of animals to improve their traits, such as growth rate, disease resistance, and reproduction. By studying DNA and heredity, scientists can select and breed animals with desirable characteristics, ensuring healthier and more productive livestock. This unit applies scientific principles to enhance food production, support sustainable farming practices, and contribute to animal welfare. Ultimately, it plays a crucial role in agriculture and animal husbandry by helping to create stronger, more efficient animal populations that meet human needs.
