Synopsis

Biotechnology is rapidly acquiring a prominent place in animal research. Animal biotechnology worldwide has made rapid advances in production and health, in the livestock as well as fish industries. The application of new biotechnology methods in livestock industry, such as recombinant DNA techniques, cell culture, monoclonal antibody and others, have already generated a number of products for improving milk and meat production, animal health and food processing, and will definitely continue to do so. Products now emerging ranged from rapid diagnostic tests for contaminants in animal products to genetically engineered animals to produce high value pharmaceuticals. In the veterinary medical research, biotechnology was initially applied to vaccine development and diagnostics for early disease detection. Recently this novel technology has contributed toward efforts for improvement of detoxification systems.
