Reproductive Biotechnology in Small Ruminant Breeding Programmes; Agricultural biotechnology; Gene editing; Evidence synthesis; Biosafety regulationAbstract
Reproductive Biotechnology in Small Ruminant Breeding Programmes has moved quickly from a research idea to something a
working breeding or production programme can actually use, but the evidence behind it has not always kept pace. We pull
together the current evidence for reproductive biotechnology in small ruminant breeding programmes, covering the
methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where researchers
and regulators are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better supported by the
evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
