Ph.D. in Animal Genetics and Breeding focuses on the use of genetic ideas and breeding techniques to improve the quality, productivity, and health of livestock and companion animals. The course of study, which typically lasts 3-5 years, integrates courses in molecular genetics, genomics, animal breeding tactics, and reproductive technology with original research. Students learn about genetic selection, gene mapping, heredity, and the role of genetics in illness resistance and performance attributes. Graduates are prepared to work in academia, research, breeding programs, or agricultural sectors, helping to enhance livestock improvement, conservation genetics, and the establishment of high-performance animal populations.
