What is Animal Biotechnology?

Animal biotechnology uses molecular biology techniques to genetically redesign and modify the genome of animals or manipulate their reproduction and development for medicinal, agricultural, or industrial purposes. Today, animal biotechnology is used in several livestock industries to advance breed development to improve animal health and welfare, reproduction, and animal-derived foods’ nutritional safety and quality.
