Deskripsi Buku   : The intersection of genetic improvement and animal welfare represents one of the most critical challenges and opportunities in modern livestock production. As the global population continues to grow and the demand for high-quality animal protein increases, the livestock industry faces mounting pressure to enhance productivity while simultaneously ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare. This book addresses the fundamental question that has emerged at the forefront of agricultural science: How can we harness the power of genetics to improve economically important traits without compromising the health, behavior, and quality of life of the animals entrusted to our care? For decades, genetic selection programs have successfully enhanced production traits such as growth rate, milk yield, egg production, and feed efficiency. These achievements have contributed significantly to food security and economic sustainability. However, the single-minded pursuit of production goals has sometimes led to unintended consequences, including increased susceptibility to disease, reproductive problems, lameness, and behavioral abnormalities. The modern paradigm of livestock genetics must therefore evolve to embrace a more holistic approach—one that balances productivity with welfare, sustainability, and ethical responsibility. This volume brings together contributions from leading scientists, veterinarians, ethologists, and industry professionals who have dedicated their careers to understanding the complex relationships between genetics, production, and animal welfare. The chapters within explore both traditional quantitative genetic approaches and cuttingedge genomic technologies, demonstrating how advances in molecular biology, bioinformatics, and breeding methodologies can be applied to improve not only production traits but also welfare-related characteristics such as disease resistance, skeletal integrity, temperament, and adaptability to environmental challenges. | ii The book is organized to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and ethical considerations inherent in genetic improvement programs. We examine major livestock species including cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, and aquaculture species, highlighting both the successes achieved and the challenges that remain. Special attention is given to emerging issues such as heat stress tolerance, methane emissions, robustness, and longevity—traits that will become increasingly important as we address climate change and sustainable food production.
