Animal Genomics and Improvement Laboratory

The Animal Genomics and Improvement Laboratory is a research facility dedicated to studying the genes of farm animals. By understanding the genetic makeup of animals like cattle, pigs, and sheep, scientists can identify traits related to growth, health, and production. This knowledge helps in breeding programs to develop stronger, healthier, and more productive animals. The lab also develops genetic tests and tools to assist farmers and breeders in making informed decisions, ultimately improving the efficiency and sustainability of livestock farming. It's a vital part of advancing animal agriculture through scientific understanding of genetics.
