As the world population rises, particularly with rapid urbanization and rising per capita income in developing regions, there is a pronounced shift towards diets richer in meat, milk, and eggs. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations estimated a substantial increase in the global demand for meat products, rising by 58% from 1995 to 2020. Similarly, milk consumption increased from 568 million metric tons in 2000 to 700 million metric tons in 2020, while egg production rose by 30% over the 2000 to 2020 period. This escalating demand necessitates more efficient livestock production. Consequently, producers are increasingly adopting advanced genetic solutions, such as superior genetic material and breeding programs, to enhance livestock productivity, feed efficiency, and yield, thereby directly fueling the expansion of the animal genetics industry to meet the global food requirement. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Advancements in Genetic and Reproductive Technologies</li> </ul> Rapid technological breakthroughs in genomics, gene editing, and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are revolutionizing animal breeding and driving market growth. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and sophisticated bioinformatics tools have significantly lowered the cost and increased the speed of genome analysis, enabling faster and more accurate genetic selection. The adoption of ART, such as Artificial Insemination (AI) and Embryo Transfer, is widespread; for example, the bovine segment, which holds the largest market share in animal type, extensively utilizes these technologies to accelerate genetic improvement. Furthermore, companies are continually innovating, such as Neogen Corporation’s launch of Igenity BCHF, the first genomic test to assess cattle's genetic risk for Bovine Congestive Heart Failure. This focus on precision breeding and high-throughput genetic testing allows breeders to make data-driven decisions, resulting in healthier, more productive, and disease-resistant livestock, which is critical for profitability and sustainability. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Growing Focus on Companion Animal Health and Genetic Testing</li> </ul> The companion animal segment is emerging as a high-growth area, driven by increasing pet ownership, the "humanization" of pets, and a corresponding rise in owner spending on advanced pet healthcare. With the increasing awareness of genetic health in dogs, cats, and other pets, there is a rising demand for genetic testing services to diagnose hereditary disorders, assess breed purity, and inform ethical breeding practices. Companies like Zoetis and other specialized firms are expanding their genetic test portfolios to cover a broader range of inherited diseases and traits. For instance, Neogen Corporation registered a growth of 13.6% in 2020 (from 2019) due to increased demand for companion animal genetic tests. This willingness of pet owners to invest in advanced diagnostics, which often includes DNA typing and genetic disease screening to ensure long-term well-being and to prevent the propagation of genetic issues, provides a substantial and diversifying growth avenue for the global animal genetics industry beyond traditional livestock applications. Key Trends in the Animal Genetics Market <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Precision Genome Editing for Disease Resistance</li> </ul> The application of advanced gene-editing tools, particularly CRISPR-Cas9, is a major trend, shifting the industry toward precise genetic modification for enhancing animal traits, with a strong emphasis on disease resistance. This technology allows scientists to make targeted, highly efficient changes to an animal's DNA to introduce or eliminate specific traits. A prime example is the development of pigs genetically edited to be resistant to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) Virus, a disease that significantly impacts swine populations and causes major economic losses globally. The successful gene editing of pigs to resist PRRS highlights the potential to drastically improve animal welfare and reduce reliance on antibiotics in livestock farming. This trend is being supported by regulatory updates, such as the USFDA's updated guidance on intentional genomic alterations in animals, which aims to enhance clarity and support biotechnology innovations that improve animal health and food production efficiency. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Integration of AI and Big Data in Genomic Selection</li> </ul> The convergence of animal genetics with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics is transforming traditional breeding into a data-driven, precision-focused process. Genomic selection programs generate massive datasets from high-throughput sequencing of thousands of animals. Analyzing these complex genomic and phenotypic data sets efficiently is virtually impossible without advanced computational tools. AI algorithms are now being used to sift through this data, predict an animal's genetic merit for complex traits (such as feed efficiency, milk yield, or disease tolerance) with greater accuracy, and significantly faster than conventional methods. For instance, a leading bovine genetics company might utilize an AI-powered platform to analyze over 50,000 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in a dairy cow's genome to predict its lifetime milk production and health profile, enabling breeders to select the most superior animals. This integration is crucial for maximizing genetic gain, optimizing herd management, and ensuring the profitability of modern livestock operations. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">The "Genetics for Sustainability" Movement</li> </ul> A critical emerging trend is the explicit focus on using animal genetics to achieve global sustainability goals and reduce the environmental footprint of livestock production. Breeding programs are increasingly prioritizing traits that lead to lower emissions and resource consumption. This includes selecting for animals with improved feed efficiency, meaning they produce more meat or milk with less feed, which directly lowers the land and resource required per unit of output. Furthermore, genetics is being used to breed animals with higher resistance to heat stress and specific diseases, which reduces mortality and the need for veterinary intervention. Companies are forming strategic alliances, such as a recent partnership between Zoetis and Danone to integrate genetics and sustainability in dairy farming, aiming to enhance cow health and reduce environmental impact through advanced genomic testing solutions. This movement positions animal genetics as a core solution for sustainable agriculture and global food security.
