Revolutionizing animal husbandry: Breakthroughs in gene editing delivery systems.

Gene editing technology has become an essential tool for advancing breeding practices, enhancing disease resistance, and boosting productivity in animal husbandry. Despite its potential, the delivery of gene editing reagents into cells faces several challenges, including low targeting efficiency, immunogenicity, and cytotoxicity, which have hindered its wider application in the field. This review discusses the evolution of gene editing technologies and highlights recent advancements in various delivery methods used in animal husbandry. It critically evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of these different delivery approaches while identifying potential directions for future development. The goal is to equip researchers with effective strategies to optimize delivery methods, ultimately facilitating the implementation and progress of gene editing technologies in animal husbandry.
