Animal Biotechnology

Animal biotechnology is an integral component of agriculture. Applicable in science and engineering, it is used for modifying living organisms. Animal and microbes have been used by humans for nutrition and development of products for consumption such as beer or bread. The existing technology today enables us to engineer animals making them suitable for maximum production. One of the early applications of biotechnology in animal science is developing method to separate cheese and other food products from milk by enzyme and microbes. Genetic engineering in conjugation with cell biology and biochemistry has developed multiple products of animal origin.

Regulation of Animal Research:       The “Three Rs”:-  Reduce the number of higher species (cats, dogs, primates) used. Refine tests and experiments to ensure the most humane conditions possible. Replace animals with alternative models whenever possible

  • Mapping the genetic basis for animals
  • Molecular pharming and animal bioreactors
  • Transfection
  • Retrovirus Vectors
  • Transposons
  • Direct manipulation of the creature
