One of these applications is nutrigenomic science which is among the most discussed and attention. Nutrigenomics or nutritional genomics explain how dietary components (protein, carbohydrate, lipid, mineral, vitamin) regulate gene expression and interaction between genes-gene products with nutrients. In addition, genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and bioinformatics seek to understand the basic role of specific genes through pathway. Nutrigenomics have revealed new information on relationship between the genetic structure and ingredient quality, digestibility, absorption of nutrients, immune system in animal nutrition. Nutrigenomic applications optimize to reducing high costs of farm animals feed inputs for healthy and profitable farming. In this review, it has been aimed to give information about applications of nutrigenomic studies on farm animals. Key words: Nutrigenomics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, animal nutrition
