How do farmers use genetics to produce better livestock?

Farmers use genetics to produce better livestock by selectively breeding animals that exhibit desirable traits such as high milk production or disease resistance. By identifying animals with superior genetics and breeding them with other top performers, farmers can improve the overall quality and productivity of their livestock over successive generations. This process helps ensure that offspring inherit the desired traits and helps farmers achieve their goals for herd improvement.

Why do farmers need cloning?

Farmers use cloning to replicate plants or animals that have desirable traits such as high yield, disease resistance, or other beneficial characteristics. Cloning allows farmers to produce more consistent and higher quality products, which can improve their competitiveness and efficiency in the market. Additionally, cloning can help preserve valuable genetic lines that may be at risk of extinction.
