Future livestock models must be based on sustainability, within the framework of competitive production systems that are respectful of animal welfare. Animal genetic improvement not only contributes to the sustainability of productions and increases their profitability, but also allows, through new technologies, to improve their efficiency and adapt them to the divergent demand of consumers. Thus, population and quantitative genetics, molecular genetics and reproductive biotechnology are currently basic subjects in livestock development.

Livestock production has evolved in recent decades, currently facing social challenges beyond providing food for the population. The production of quality and safe food, respecting the environment and animal welfare and preserving the economic and social viability of the sector has led to a change in the sector's paradigm.
