The article conducts bibliometrics (scientometrics, informetrics) analyses on gene editing studies in farm animals, for this purpose, publications on the subject published in WOS (https://www.webofscience.com) and Scopus (https://www.scopus.com/search) databases were searched using the keywords gene editing on farm animals (Livestock). Utilizing VOSviewer software, the study generates a report outlining publication distributions. As a result of our bibliometric analyses, most of the gene editing studies in farm animals are at the level of original articles and 378 publications were found in Scopus database and 359 publications were found in WOS database. It was observed that the publications were mostly made by scientists and teams in Republic of China and USA. It has been revealed that gene editing studies have been carried out in order to reproduce breeds that are resistant to diseases, high productivity, adaptable to different breeding conditions, especially in pig, cattle and sheep goat breeds, and to produce new organs by transplantation and to produce tissues and organs compatible with human health. This bibliometric study concluded that gene editing studies should be intensified in order to reproduce animals with high economic efficiency values in farm animals, to increase animal welfare and to increase the number of farm animals.
