Gene Editing in Dairy Cows: Advancing Milk Yield, Health, and Resilience for Sustainable Dairy Development
Abstract: Gene editing has emerged as a transformative tool in dairy science, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance productivity, improve animal health, and bolster resilience against environmental challenges. This study explores the potential of gene editing technologies, including CRISPR-Cas9, in advancing milk yield, optimizing milk composition, and addressing genetic disorders in dairy cows. Specific applications include targeting genes associated with mastitis resistance, improving feed efficiency, and introducing heat tolerance traits to adapt …
