Animal biotechnology

Detailed segment division:

• Reproduction, production
• Breeding, incl. genetic engineering in animals (creation of transgenics)
• Genome mapping, biodiversity of farm animals
• Animal cell biotechnology: animal cell biology
• Veterinary medicines, animal health care
• Veterinary diagnostic methods

The main applications of biotechnology to livestock breeding and husbandry are diagnostics the production of transgenic animals, animal nutrition and animal health.

Diagnostic and analytical approaches are used during animal breeding, in order to identify phenotypological, physiological or biochemical traits which could be used as targets for breeding programmes.

These analytical methods can also be used for proving the origin and parenthood of animals. Compared to traditional methods analytics and diagnostics based on biotechnology are more efficient, rely on smaller samples and provide faster results.
