Conservation, Breeding and Genetic Improvement in Livestock
In animal husbandry, conservation, breeding and genetic improvement are important activities to maintain and develop valuable livestock breeds.
Preserving livestock breeds:
Collection and storage of genetic samples: Genetic samples from purebred individuals are collected and stored in frozen form. This ensures that important genetic characteristics are not lost and can be reused in the future.
Breed conservation programs: Develop genetic management programs to maintain genetic diversity and prevent population decline of important livestock breeds.
Breeding:
Using high-tech reproductive techniques: Techniques such as IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), OPU (Ovum Pick-Up – egg collection without slaughter) are applied for reproduction and breeding. High-value livestock breeds without the need for humans.
Using stem cells: Stem cells have the ability to develop into different types of cells, including egg cells and embryonic cells. This technology can also be used to reproduce rare livestock breeds.
Genetic improvement:
Using selection techniques: Techniques such as PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) help select embryos with normal and healthy genes for implantation, thereby improving the quality of livestock breeds.
Applying genetic technology: Genetic modification techniques aim to improve genetic characteristics such as health, reproductive performance, heat tolerance and disease resistance for livestock breeds.
Advanced reproductive technology to preserve purebred livestock breeds (genetically modified animals)
Using gene editing tools to create genetically modified animals has many advantages:
Anti-tuberculosis ability
Fight illness
Better heat resistance
Lean
Increase production
Conservation, breeding and genetic improvement activities in livestock production play an important role in maintaining and developing valuable genetic resources of livestock breeds, thereby meeting production needs. food and improve production efficiency in the livestock industry.
