Animal biotechnology and genomics represent transformative fields in modern livestock production, harnessing molecular biology, genetic engineering, and advanced sequencing technologies to enhance animal health, productivity, and sustainability. By decoding animal genomes and applying tools such as marker-assisted selection, and precision breeding can accelerate genetic improvements for desirable traits like disease resistance, faster growth, better feed efficiency, and superior reproductive performance. These advancements intersect powerfully with innovative applications in vaccine development, stronger immune responses, and more effective protection against infectious diseases in livestock. Complementing this, probiotic feed additives promote gut microbiome balance, suppress pathogens, and improve nutrient utilization. Irrational use of antibiotics in animal production system severely creating issue of AMR which ultimately impacting public health. Emerging nano-therapeutics further revolutionize animal health by enabling precise, controlled drug delivery, minimizing side effects, improving bioavailability of nutrients and medications, and offering innovative solutions for disease treatment and prevention in farm animals. Together, these interconnected biotechnological strategies are driving a new era of efficient, resilient, and health-focused livestock systems to meet global demands for food security and sustainable agriculture |
