Improving Animal Products
through Animal Breeding and Genetics Studies
Farmers and ranchers use animal breeding
and selection systems to improve the quality
and desirability of animal products. For
example, beef cattle breeding research focuses
on selecting superior animals for producing
high-quality protein and other nutrients
for human consumption. CSREES' program Animal
Breeding, Genetics & Genomics also
supports work to improve our understanding
of animal breeding and genetics.
