Equine Geneticists

Equine geneticists are scientists who study the DNA of horses to understand their inherited traits, health, and origins. By analyzing genetic material, they can identify genes responsible for specific characteristics such as coat color, size, or disease susceptibility. This knowledge helps improve breeding programs, ensuring healthier, stronger horses and maintaining genetic diversity. Equine geneticists combine biology, genetics, and horse science to better understand equine heritage, enhance performance, and address health issues, contributing to the overall well-being and advancement of horse breeds.
