ABSTRACT
Animal breeding and agriculture have been major human activities for millennia, and have now evolved into important economic activities that clearly impact food safety. Over the years, increasing interest has been directed toward maximizing the quantity of food production and simultaneously reducing the cost. It is of vital importance to cover the need for food supplies of an increasing world population, and also comply with legal limits regarding contaminants and antimicrobial agents. Thus, new practices in animal breeding have been designed by controlling various factors such as genetics, nutrition, health, management, and the environmental conditions.
