This book examines the most recent developments in animal breeding as well as the revolution in genomics, concentrating on the history of the country as well as the success that has been made in livestock and poultry breeding. Authors have also examined the consequences of genetic discoveries in other areas such as animal welfare, nutrition, and disease resistance in their work. The topic of the economic and environmental implications connected with deploying these technologies for cattle and poultry production has been considered for inclusion in this book. Attempts have been made to accomplish this goal.

So come along with us on this voyage of genomic innovation in livestock and poultry breeding, and witness how genomics are making a positive impact on the industry of animal agriculture.
