The National Animal Genome Research Program

The National Animal Genome Research Program is a scientific initiative that focuses on studying the DNA of farm animals like cattle, pigs, and sheep. By understanding their genetic makeup, researchers can identify traits related to health, growth, and reproduction. This knowledge helps improve breeding practices, leading to healthier, more productive animals and sustainable agriculture. The program combines advanced DNA technologies with biological research to benefit farmers, the environment, and food security, ultimately supporting innovation in animal production systems.
