👉 Breeds engineering, also known as selective breeding or artificial selection, is the process by which humans intentionally mate animals with specific desirable traits to produce offspring that inherit these characteristics. This practice, rooted in evolutionary biology, has been utilized for millennia to enhance traits such as size, temperament, productivity, and disease resistance in livestock. Modern advances in genetics have refined this process, allowing for more precise selection through techniques like genomic selection and marker-assisted breeding. Breeds engineering plays a crucial role in agriculture, animal husbandry, and conservation efforts, aiming to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and welfare of animal populations while meeting human needs for food, fiber, and other resources.
