Genetics-Biotechnology

Genetics and biotechnology in horses focus on improving breeding, health, and performance through advanced scientific techniques.
– In Genetics: – Selective breeding enhances traits like speed, endurance, and temperament; genomic applications uses DNA sequencing to identify genetic markers for  diseases and desirable traits; and genetic diversity allows to manage inbreeding risks to maintain healthy populations.
In Biotechnology: – Artificial insemination and embryo transfer improve breeding efficiency and genetic preservation; gene editing and cloning explores possibilities for disease resistance and tissue regeneration; and stem cell therapy is used for treating joint injuries and degenerative conditions.
