So i have to do this report for my agriscience class and one of the questions my teacher asked was: what are some of the latest advancements in animal genetics that have made horse herd improvement more advanced today? now, i know that there is artificial insemination, embryo transfer, cloning, and other things like that for farm animals… but what has been done to improve HORSES not COWS or STEER.

Horses are participants in AI, ET, and CL but I don’t think any of these things are “improvements”. It is about primarily, money, and secondly, research and experimentation. It is animal abuse and it is wrong. Don’t mean to “rain” on your project or your teacher’s efforts to get you to explore these things, but these things have been created for the financial enrichment of humans and has nothing to do with the welfare of the horses. If you look into these practices, you will always find the dollar as the basis. In general, when genetics are manipulated in a manner opposed to the natural order, the results are less than optimum. Natural selection is always better. Just another viewpoint.
they do those things for horses too.. AI and embryo transfer I mean
this link talks about genes for color.. I dunno if it helps but maybe education is an advancement?http://www.scienceray.com/Biology/Zoolog…
