Conclusion
The availability of new animal genomics tools provides extraordinary
opportunities for solving some of the most pressing and difficult
problems in animal health research. Animal genomics also provides new
innovative approaches for controlling diseases affecting domestic
animals and wildlife. This review paper highlighted challenges and
opportunities to improve animal health in line with quantitative
genetics, functional genomics, translating genomics information into
tools for controlling diseases, and integrating stakeholder support are
priority areas for animal health research. The paper also provided
recommendations in genomic selection for improved health
