Microbiome Selection in Animal Breeding

Biovenic23 Oct, 2023Technology

Microbiome breeding is a new artificial selection technique aimed at altering the genetic composition of the microbiome to benefit the animal host. Recent experimental and theoretical analyzes suggest that, as long as the genetic factors encoded by the microbiome influence host traits (e.g., health), and the microbiome is transmitted with sufficient fidelity between hosts, as in natural microbiome transmission between social animal individuals during the process, breeding that includes microbiome information is possible. BioVenic's professional knowledge in animal genetics and breeding and rich experience in animal related research and development enable us to provide global customers with microbiome selection services in animal genetic breeding to better meet research needs.
