Revolutionizing Livestock Breeding: The Power of Genome Editing in Cattle Farming

Big animals, including non-human primates, livestock, and dogs, play crucial roles in biomedical research and are crucial suppliers of meat and milk. Tropical regions' livestock performance has been hampered by environmental factors that promote the growth of parasites and illnesses and create heat stress in livestock. Heat stress interferes with an animal's ability to maintain homeostasis, which has an adverse effect on the meat and milk quality. In the tropical regions, a number of tactics have been used in an effort to get over these obstacles, but there are still no concrete answers in place. Biotechnologies have had a significant impact on cattle production in tropical nations during the past 20 years, including in vitro fertilization and genomic selection. The cutting-edge instrument in the cattle production toolbox is genome editing (GnEd). In breeding programs for tropical cattle, the potential to boost the genetic advantage in fewer generations through genome editing and genomic selection.
