DuPont Direct About Join Logon Markets Consumer Solutions DuPont Overview Science Investor Center Social Commitment Careers DuPont Home Industries DuPont Biotechnology SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE ... Is DNA from biotech crops as safe as the DNA we consume daily? Are meat, milk and egg products from animals fed biotech crops safe for consumers? Yes. Biotechnology grains have been evaluated by regulatory agencies and are considered to be substantially equivalent, or the same as, conventional crops and safe for consumption. Therefore, food products such as meat, milk and eggs from animals fed with biotechnology feeds are as safe as those from animals fed from other sources. Are biotech crops as nutritious and safe as their counterparts produced through conventional means? Yes. Regulatory agencies require companies to assess each biotech crop for substantial equivalence to its conventional counterpart before the products are marketed. Equivalency in crop nutrition and safety is assessed biochemically by evaluating key groups of components such as essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, carbohydrates and amino acids. In addition, anti-nutrients, endogenous toxicants and known and potential allergens and other physiologically active substances are evaluated. These tests are widely accepted and have demonstrated that the components of a product developed through biotechnology are similar, or equivalent to, its conventional counterpart. Do biotech crops, which offer insect resistance and herbicide tolerance, negatively affect the health, growth and performance of livestock?

24. Biotechnology Options For Improving Livestock Production In Developing Countries The application of biotechnology for future livestock production. In HunterAG (ed), biotechnology in livestock in Developing Countries. http://www.fao.org/wairdocs/ilri/x5473b/x5473b05.htm

Biotechnology options for improving livestock production in developing countries, with special reference to sub-Saharan Africa J.E.O. Rege International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA) P. O. Box 5689, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Abstract Introduction Overview of available biotechnologies Need for biotechnology capacity in developing countries ... References Abstract Techniques of modern biology such as molecular cloning of genes, gene transfer, genetic manipulation of animal and plant embryo transfer, genetic manipulation of rumen microbes, chemical and biological treatment of low quality animal feeds for improved nutritive value, genetically engineered immunodiagnostic and immunoprophylactic agents as well as veterinary vaccines, inter alia Introduction Developing countries are faced with the challenge to rapidly increase agricultural productivity to help feed their growing populations without depleting the natural resource base. Biotechnology is regarded as a means to meet both objectives through addressing the production constraints of small-scale or resource-poor farmers who contribute more than 70% of the food produced in developing countries. Biotechnology can be defined as any technique that uses living organisms or substances from such organisms to make or modify a product, to improve plants or animals or to develop micro-organisms for specific purposes. Biotechnology is not new. Man has used it for thousands of years to manufacture products such as beer, wine and bread. Conventional plant and animal breeding which involves selection and mating of phenotypically preferred individuals is a good example of age-old application of biotechnology. What is new about biotechnology comes from more recent breakthroughs such as recombinant DNA technology and associated techniques, monoclonal antibody techniques, embryo manipulation technology etc. These have enhanced possibilities for manipulating biological systems for the benefit of mankind.

25. Biotechnology In Food And Agriculture biotechnology in livestock Production and Health biotechnology developmentsand their potential impacts on the livestock and meat sectors (1998). http://www.fao.org/biotech/sector3.asp

FAO Statement on Biotechnology FAO Documents FAO's Activities Electronic Forum ... Links Livestock Biotechnology in Livestock Production and Health Population growth, income growth and urbanization are fuelling a massive increase in demand for food of animal origin in developing countries - the 'livestock revolution'. In the past, developing countries have coped with the increases in demand mainly by expanding livestock populations. However, declining land areas per agricultural population are now forcing developing countries to intensify livestock production and monogastric animals, i.e. pigs and particularly poultry, are the most important sources of livestock sector growth. Over the past centuries, biological, chemical and mechanical innovations have provided the basis for livestock sector development by containing the impact of livestock diseases, increasing yields and reducing labour requirements. Today, agricultural biotechnology is a new source of innovations that can potentially reshape agriculture as profoundly as any of the previous fields of technological innovation. Intensification of livestock production is feared to reduce genetic diversity indirectly by displacing landraces and their inherent diversity as farmers adopt genetically uniform varieties of livestock. Biotechnologies such as cryopreservation of semen and embryos, coupled with artificial insemination and embryo transfer as well as somatic cloning are important actual and potential tools for the preservation of animal biodiversity.

Applying the tools of modern gene technology to the livestock industry deserves careful consideration. Developments are not always justified merely because they have become possible. As with all technologies, there are likely to be drawbacks as well as benefits. As new technologies unfold, excitement, scientific enthusiasm and the desire for profits may blind the proponents, while irrational suspicion, unthinking conservatism and lack of knowledge may dog the opponents. Between these two extremes lies an objective view, informed by the facts but tempered with healthy scepticism, broad knowledge of other areas, and reasonable restraint.

Summary Over the next decade the Irish agri-food industry will have to compete in a rapidly changing world environment arising from increased competitiveness, decreased world market prices and increased consumer demands for higher quality, healthier and safer food. To become competitive in this environment the scale and efficiency of production at both farm and factory level will have to increase significantly and this must be achieved with due regard for the protection of the environment and the welfare of animals. New technologies will be needed to achieve this. Biotechnology will be central to the development of these new technologies. This project has been concerned with the identification and evaluation of biotechnology developments that have the potential to increase reproductive efficiency in cattle. This includes a range of technologies relating to the

30. Animal Science Study Options - Oklahoma State University In addition to Animal Science courses in livestock production and management, The Animal biotechnology option is designed to prepare students for the http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/information/options.htm

ANIMAL SCIENCE STUDY OPTIONS Undergraduate students majoring in Animal Science may choose one of eleven different options. Within each of these options, students specialize in one or more of the six species groups by choosing appropriate production courses. The Business option is designed for students interested in modern livestock production, management and business. The current economic climate in agriculture demands that graduates be well-trained in both the business aspects of livestock production and modern livestock management. Students who combine good livestock skills with a sense of business management will be uniquely qualified for management of livestock operations; sales, promotion and management of support industries such as feed, health products or agricultural chemicals; involvement in financial institutions and many other opportunities. The Production option prepares students for intensive livestock management as required by modern poultry, swine and dairy operations. In addition to courses related to the principles of genetic improvement, feeding and reproduction, students learn about pest management, business management and crop production. Consequently, students in the Production option participate in a balanced educational program that prepares them for intensive livestock management. The Ranch Operations option is designed for those with a specific interest in ranching and beef cattle production, particularly cow-calf and stocker operations. In addition to Animal Science courses in livestock production and management, this option also utilizes a number of supportive courses in forage production, including range management. If elective hours are utilized for business courses, this option combines three important aspects of successful ranch operation: livestock management, forage production and business.

Back To Abstract Home Database BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION Biotechnology offers new benefits to small-scale livestock producers in the region. One of the most important is improved, low-cost vaccines. Another use is the development of new products, including livestock feeds, or food and medicines made from animal products. A recent FFTC regional survey drew up an inventory of useful products and technologies. LIVESTOCK BREEDING Top of Document Classical livestock breeding has been very successful. However, it is a slow process. Several decades may be needed to breed a livestock population with improved genetic traits. Biotechnology makes it easier to produce animals with superior genetic traits, and to multiply these animals rapidly. An important advance is embryo transfer, in which embryos produced by superior breeding females are removed for gestation by other animals. These superior females may produce more eggs than normal, as the result of hormone injections (superovulation). Not only embryos, but also unfertilized eggs (oocytes) can be removed from superior dams. Artifical insemination is then used to produce multiple embryos which are transplanted into unrelated females for gestation. Other advances in the use of biotechnology in livestock production include the production of clones (genetically identical offspring); improved freezing techniques for semen, oocytes and embryos; and genetic evaluation of the sperm used for artificial insemination. In poultry production, it is now possible to fertilize chick embryos and culture them inside an artifical egg until they are ready to hatch. This allows genetic manipulation at an early stage, before egg formation.
