International Bovine Genome Consortium

The International Bovine Genome Consortium is a global team of scientists working together to map and understand the complete genetic makeup (genome) of cattle. By studying their DNA, they aim to identify genes related to traits like milk production, disease resistance, and growth. This research helps improve cattle breeding, health, and productivity, benefiting farmers and the agriculture industry worldwide. The consortium's collaborative effort accelerates scientific discovery and enhances sustainable livestock management.
