Usage of Genetic Engineering Practices in Animal Breeding: A Review
Abstract: being used by scientists/researchers to transform the genetic material (DNA/RNA) of an organism, thereby, bringing the desired change in it. This can be achieved by using several techniques, such as, by transfection, using retroviral vectors, transposons, and knock-in and knock-out technology, etc. It has various applications in breeding of animals, which enables the production of genetically modified species that can be used to produce various novel proteins, which are useful …

Resilience Enhancement for Animal Breeding Programs
Abstract: Resilience is an animal's ability to be unaffected by disturbances or to quickly reverts to the condition it was in prior to the interruption. Furthermore, generic markers for response to various environmental disruptions are still to be developed, and so resilience may not yet be included within the breeding strategies. New resilience indicators based on data obtained have been implemented as a result of recent improvements in big data collection, …

A Review of the Side effects of Animal Breeding
Abstract: Problems with the functioning of communities with high hereditary value, due to trade of marker - assisted selection on based on behavioural, metabolic, and immunological features, have highlighted undesirable adverse effects connected with animal breeding. Selection for economically significant traits has been connected to reproductive, reproductive, and overall metabolic processes in dairy animals characteristics, often necessitating more attention from breeders than the reactions associated with the screening technique used. The …

In-vitro Fertilization: Revolutionizing Livestock Breeding Efficiency
Abstract: In-vitro fertilization (IVF) has emerged as a transformative technology in animal breeding, particularly in the livestock industry. VF, or in vitro fertilization, is a process where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body, in a lab. After the egg is fertilized and begins to develop into an embryo, it is then placed into the uterus of the woman who will carry the pregnancy. This technique has significantly enhanced …

Advances in Reproductive Biotechnology: Innovations in Artificial Insemination and IVF Techniques
Abstract: Reproductive biotechnology has transformed infertility management and animal breeding, with artificial insemination (AI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) playing pivotal roles. Historically, these technologies have evolved from experimental concepts to essential tools in reproductive medicine and agriculture. AI, introduced in the early 20th century, became instrumental in optimizing breeding programs by allowing selective fertilization without physical mating, thus improving genetic diversity and disease control in livestock. Meanwhile, IVF, developed in …

Cryopreservation of Embryo
Abstract: Cryopreservation or cry conservation is a procedure where organelles, cells, tissues, extracellular matrix, organs or whatever other natural develops powerless to harm brought on by unregulated chemical kinetics are protected by cooling to low temperatures[1](typically - 80 °C utilizing strong carbon dioxide or - 196 °C utilizing fluid nitrogen). At sufficiently low temperatures, any enzymatic or chemical activities which may make harm the biological material being referred to be viably …

IOT-enabled Anti-poaching System for Protecting Wildlife and Forests Through Advanced Monitoring and Alert Mechanisms
Abstract: Forests are essential for preserving the intricate ecological harmony of our planet, serving as critical habitats for numerous animal species. Unfortunately, this equilibrium is increasingly jeopardized not only by illegal logging but also by the scourge of animal poaching the global demand for exotic animal parts and products fuels poaching, which presents a major menace to wildlife populations across the globe. The repercussions of poaching extend far beyond individual animals. …

Acute Diffuse Peritonitis in a Pregnant Buffalo
Abstract: A non descriptive breed of buffalo with 8 months of gestation was referred to the clinic with clinical manifestations like anorexia, fever, stiff gait and oedema at inter mandible region, brisket and ventral abdomen. Animal exhibited tachycardia, tachypnoea, pain while deep palpation at ventral abdomen and a positive response to ferroscope examination. Haemato-biochemical analysis revealed anaemia, leucopaenia with degenerative shift to left, neutrophilia and elevated protein levels. Peritoneal fluid analysis …

Photosynthesis at high altitude: A case study in Trans Himalayan region
Abstract: Photosynthesis is the basis of life on earth that converts light energy into chemical energy and is the primary component of crop yield. Significant increase in crop yield by enhancing photosynthesis can answer to global food security. With the increase in population size and limited land availability, efforts have been made to grow crops in tough terrains like high altitude areas. As one ascends a mountain, environmental conditions such as …

Altitudinal distribution of Birds in sub-tropical and temperate region of Middle Himalayan Chain of Doda, Jammu and Kashmir
Abstract: Birds are not static and undergo migration that can be local or over long distance to avoid unfavorable climatic conditions, in search of food or for breeding purpose. A study on altitudinal distribution was made in temperate and subtropical forest of middle Himalayan chain of Jammu and Kashmir. In the present study a total of 71 species of birds was documented from the study area belonging to 9 orders 27 …
