Benefits of Farm Animals Genetic Adaptation: A Review | Insight Medical Publishing

This review aimed to deliver knowledge about the benefit of genetic adaptation of farm animals. Gene helps the farm animals to adapt conditions and able to survive different conditions. Furthermore, farm animal’s genetic adaptation plays a great role to cope up climate change, environmental stresses including extreme hot and cold, disease and parasite. Accordingly, considering different factors, climatic condition, topography, breed type, relationship with human, disease and parasite resistance, welfare issue, physiological and behavioral status, nutritional habit in harsh environment and management influences, local and cross breeds are more important than exotic breeds to establish an international sustainable farm animal breeding program at farm and laboratory level. Likewise, in-situ and ex-situ adaptive local gene conservation bank should be done properly, especially, in developing countries. Therefore, the importance of this review is high and must be documented.
