Breeding Genetics and Pathology
Breeding genetics and pathology involves the study of the genetic bases of diseases and the way they can be improved through selective breeding. It can be used to develop and improve herd or flock health and performance, as well as to identify potential genetic risks in a population. It also helps to understand the cause of disease, allowing for more targeted prevention and treatment strategies. By understanding the genetic makeup of an animal, breeders can work to breed healthier and more productive animals, preserving important genetic diversity and improving the overall quality of the population.
