Abstract
Molecular breeding has been heralded as a powerful tool that can ameliorate the economically important traits of livestock species. Genetic markers like microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism have been experimentally identified and often validated. These markers have been successfully used in bovines, small ruminants, swine, and chicken with an aim to improve the productive, reproductive, and growth traits, as well as disease resistance. The present chapter discusses the discovery of these genetic markers for various economically important traits in bovines, caprine, and chicken.
