Abstract: With the development of sequencing technology, a large number of omics sequencing technologies continue to emerge and promote, resulting in a large number of omics data including genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, microbiome and so on. These data are of great significance for in-depth study and revelation of the complex regulatory process of important economic traits (growth traits, reproductive traits, meat traits, disease resistance traits, etc.) of livestock and poultry. The complexity of important economic traits of livestock and poultry can not be revealed through a single level of omics alone, while multi-omics technology can systematically analyze the mechanism and phenotype of important economic traits of livestock and poultry, thus gradually become the main method for studying important economic traits of livestock and poultry. This article reviews the methods, advantages and application of multi-omics techniques in the study of important economic traits of livestock and poultry, aiming to provide references and ideas for the study of important economic traits of livestock and poultry.

Key words: livestock and poultry, multi-omics techniques, economic traits
