👉 Poultry engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines genetics, biotechnology, and animal husbandry to improve the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of poultry production. It involves selective breeding programs to enhance desirable traits such as faster growth rates, improved disease resistance, and higher egg production. Genetic modification techniques, including CRISPR-Cas9, are also employed to introduce or edit specific genes for targeted improvements. Additionally, poultry engineers develop advanced feeding strategies and environmental management systems to optimize animal health and welfare while minimizing environmental impacts. This field also focuses on developing innovative technologies for disease control, such as vaccines and diagnostic tools, and improving the overall quality of poultry products through better processing and preservation methods.
