Bovine genetics

Bovine genetics studies the genes and heredity of cattle, determining how traits such as size, milk production, disease resistance, and coat color are inherited. By analyzing DNA, scientists can identify desirable characteristics and improve breeds through selective breeding. This helps farmers produce cattle that are healthier, more productive, and better adapted to their environments. Advances in bovine genetics also support sustainable practices by reducing the need for resources and enhancing disease resilience. Overall, it’s a scientific approach that optimizes cattle traits to benefit agriculture, human nutrition, and the economy.
