Animal genetics involves the study and manipulation of genetic material within animal populations to understand inheritance patterns, traits, and breeding outcomes. It's the science of heredity in animals, encompassing techniques like selective breeding and DNA analysis to improve desirable traits, health, and overall quality within livestock and companion animals.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has reverberated across various sectors, along with the animal genetics market. Disruptions in supply chains, labour shortages, and economic uncertainties have collectively influenced this industry. Lockdowns and restrictions affected operations, including breeding programs and research activities, leading to delays in genetic advancements. Moreover, the closure of meat processing plants hampered demand for improved livestock genetics.

On the other hand, the pandemic heightened awareness about food security and quality, prompting a re-evaluation of breeding practices. This emphasized the importance of resilient livestock breeds with enhanced disease resistance and productivity. Remote work accelerated the adoption of digital tools in genetic research and data analysis. In the coming years, the market is poised to leverage these lessons, combining technology and genetic expertise to address challenges and create a more robust and sustainable future for animal breeding and agriculture.
 

Animal Genetics Market Trends

The market is propelled by factors like increasing demand for high-quality protein, advancements in genetic research enabling enhanced traits, sustainable agriculture goals, and expanding global economies. Also, increasing focus on identifying superior disease-resistant breed in developing economies and the increased adoption of advanced genetic technologies for large-scale production and quality breeds in developed countries is also propelling the market. Researchers in animal genetics field have identified elements within genes that are responsible to enhance animal health, growth, and ability to utilize nutrients in animals. These genetic advances increase production while reducing environmental impacts. Livestock and animals contribute to the food security and livelihoods of almost a billion people globally and contribute around 40% of the global value of agricultural output. Thus, identification and production of disease-resistant breed using animal genetics is vital for growing population.
