Increasing Awareness about Animal Genetic Disorders to Augment the Animal Genetics Market Growth
Animal genetics is one of the pillars of livestock development alongside animal nutrition, animal health, and husbandry issues such as housing. It is a part of biotechnology that includes the study of genes, genetic diversity, and heredity in animals. Animal genetics studies gene variants, gene expression, traits, and reproduction. It also involves genetic engineering, a technique for manipulating genes (adding/deleting genes) as a result of various combinations. Moreover, animal genetics is used to test genetic trait, genetic disease, or DNA in animals. Market Dynamics: An increase in livestock population and increasing awareness about animal genetic disorders is expected to fuel the growth of the animal genetics market. For instance, in 2018, the total number for livestock was pegged at around 536 million, according to the 20th Livestock Census released by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (India). Moreover, the increasing adoption of various genetic practic...
