Bovine Genomics

Bovine genomics is the study of the complete set of genes in cattle, called their genome. Scientists analyze these genes to understand how cattle grow, produce milk and meat, resist diseases, and adapt to environments. This knowledge helps improve breeding programs, leading to healthier animals with better productivity and sustainability. Advances in genomics allow researchers to identify specific genetic traits, enabling more precise selection and enhancement of desirable characteristics in cattle populations. Overall, bovine genomics provides valuable insights to support agriculture, animal health, and food security.
