| description | Having played important roles in human growth and development, livestock animals are regarded as integral parts of society. However, industrialization has depleted natural resources and exacerbated climate change worldwide, spurring the emergence of various diseases that reduce livestock productivity. Meanwhile, a growing human population demands sufficient food to meet their needs, necessitating innovations in veterinary sciences that increase productivity both quantitatively and qualitatively. We have been able to address various challenges facing veterinary and farm systems with new scientific and technological advances, which might open new opportunities for research. Recent breakthroughs in multi-omics platforms have produced a wealth of genetic and genomic data for livestock that must be converted into knowledge for breeding, disease prevention and management, productivity, and sustainability. Vetinformatics is regarded as a new bioinformatics research concept or approach that is revolutionizing the field of veterinary science. It employs an interdisciplinary approach to understand the complex molecular mechanisms of animal systems in order to expedite veterinary research, ensuring food and nutritional security. This review article highlights the background, recent advances, challenges, opportunities, and application of vetinformatics for quality veterinary services. |
