In this enlightening episode, we delve into the world of cattle genetics and disease. Most examples are for livestock, but the principles apply to breeding all animals, including dogs. Discover the complexities of the 'curse of the recessive' and learn how modern genomic tools are revolutionizing livestock management, offering new ways to identify and manage genetic defects and improve disease resistance. From understanding effective population size in breeds like the Holsteins to the role of Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) and genomic technologies, we explore the transformative potential of genetic research in livestock breeding and disease control.
Join us as we unravel how genetics plays a critical role in managing disease. Whether you're a breeder, farmer, veterinarian, or keenly interested in animal breeding, this episode is your gateway to understanding the future of animal health and productivity.
