Throughout history we have used animals for food, their wool and hides for clothing, and harnessed them to carry loads. More recently, animals have been used in increasingly sophisticated ways for research, development, and production, particularly that associated with the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. As the ways in which we use animals become technically more complex, the skills required by those using and caring for them change. More and more skilled animal professionals are required, many of whom require an extensive knowledge of veterinary biology and the issues associated with animal use, maintenance, and welfare. To cater to this rising demand, several universities have created degree-level bioveterinary or veterinary biology programs (distinct from preveterinary and veterinary technology programs).

Todo nuestros libros Personas Bill Carman Identificación: Creado: Modificado: Review of Previous Studies - Biotechnology and the Future of Agricultural Development in Mexico Documento(s) 8 de 14 Michelle Chauvet Introduction The applications of biotechnology that have been made to date in agriculture and the environment have clearly been more limited than predictions during the 1970s would have led us to expect. The reasons underlying this fact have to do with the accelerating pace of change in the world. New technologies lie at the heart of change everywhere, and their impact is felt in economic fundamentals as much as in everyday life. In developing a theoretical and methodological framework for understanding the scope of these effects, we must include a study of observable trends that will let us make a realistic assessment of progress in biotechnology. Biotechnology and Basic World Trends The changes now occurring in the world are being shaped by the process of globalization. This term, however, is subject to various interpretations in the debate about how best to define contemporary reality. Are we dealing with a new and unique phenomenon, or is it merely a stage or phase through which the world economy is passing? We hear talk of globalization from a wide range of people, in the media, in the academic world, and in international organizations, but are they all talking about the same thing?

Biotechnology in Animal Reproduction Carol A. Bluhm, RLATG Registered Laboratory Animal Technologist Learn more about: Gametes, Embryos, and Fetuses Their Availability Their Characteristics Biotechnology Techniques ... The Future Gametes, Embryos, and Fetuses Animals pass on their genetic characteristics to the next generation via cells called gametes, sperm of the male and eggs or oocytes for the female. An embryo is formed when an oocyte is fertilized by a sperm (click) and development of a new animal begins. About every 20 hours, embryonic cells duplicate their genes and divide, progressing through 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16-cell stages, etc. The embryo floats freely in the lumen of the female reproductive tract for the first one to four weeks depending on the species, and then it attaches to the lining of the uterus, a process called implantation. The embryo is termed a fetus when recognizable organs form such as the brain and heart. The sperm, the oocyte before fertilization, and the embryo before implantation all can be removed from the reproductive tract for various biotechnological purposes without damaging them. This has led to the development of such techniques as artificial insemination (A.I.), in vitro (outside the body) fertilization, and embryo transfer (E.T.), which is the replacement of the embryo into the female reproductive tract for gestation to term.

Offices Partners Insects, Nematodes, and Biotechnology Insects and nematodes are the world's most important pests of agricultural plants and livestock. They cause billions of dollars of losses to growers and livestock producers every year because of lowered yields, quality deterioration, and diseases. Pesticides are a major tool for their control. Safer alternatives to control these pests are needed urgently because an ever-escalating number of pesticides cause potential harm to the environment and human health. The advent of biotechnology is leading us to exciting potential strategies to control these pests. Since 1991, the Entomology and Nematology and the Biologically Based Pest Management programs in the CSREES National Research Initiative (NRI) have supported research aimed toward developing novel control strategies for insect and nematode pests and the genetic improvement of beneficial species such as pollinators and biological control agents. Projects that use the tools of biotechnology have increased dramatically in these programs over the last 15 years. Four general areas of research related to insects, nematodes, and biotechnology and selected examples of funded projects are described below:

Home Resources Items >> "Biotech Companies Trying to Milk Cloning for Profit" Biotech Companies Trying to Milk Cloning for Profit Denise Gellene Los Angeles Times December 16, 2001 First came Dolly, the cloned Scottish sheep that stirred debate in 1997. Then came Second Chance, a Texas-born cloned Brahman bull. Now a small herd of cloned livestock is moving from laboratories to farmsand closer to American dinner tables. Cloning is becoming a business, though it has generated few, if any, profits. At least three biotechnology companies are pitching their services to ranchers and dairy farmers. One firm has shipped at least 20 cloned animals this year. Three of the clones, copies of a famous Holstein named Black Rose, live on farms in Wisconsin dairy country. The companies want to change the way farm animals are bred, helping farmers produce meatier steaks or more milk. Farmers already select the biggest bulls or best milk cows for breeding. By cloning these animals, the companies say, farmers can quickly improve the genetics of entire herds. Among the companies promoting its cloning service is Advanced Cell Technology Inc., the Massachusetts firm that created a furor several weeks ago with its attempt to clone a human embryo. Congress is debating a proposed ban on human cloning and President Bush has condemned the experiment. Advanced Cell wants to use cloned human embryos as raw material from which to develop therapies for disease.

Home Publications Other Publications AgBiotech Bulletin ... News Releases Feed Biotechnology: The Science of Animal Nutrition Feeding Livestock Is A Science Biotechnology has a significant role in enhancing livestock nutrition. With better nutrition, animals digest their feed more efficiently, are healthier and more productive. Enhancing Livestock Nutrition Supplements Adding specific nutrients to feeds improves animals' diets and lowers feed costs. For example: Amino acids are a common nutritional supplement. They are the building blocks of proteins. They can be produced in large quantities through fermentation, a biotech process for growing microorganisms. For example: Feed for weanling pigs can be supplemented with antibodies obtained from egg yolks. The antibodies bind to disease-causing agents known as pathogens in the pig's intestine. The pathogens cannot bind to the gut wall to cause disease. Instead, they pass out of the pig's body without doing any harm. Enzymes Enzymes are proteins which aid specific chemical or metabolic reactions necessary for cell growth. They improve feed quality and allow feeds to be tailored to the specific needs of different animals. Enzymes used as feed additives are produced through large-scale fermentation processes. Enzymes are used to: Remove compounds naturally present in feed grains and forages which are potentially harmful to animals or which interfere with their nutrition.

Home Publications Other Publications AgBiotech Bulletin ... News Releases Advances in Animal Health: Vaccines from Biotechnology Meeting a Critical Demand Raising livestock has long been a key element of agriculture around the world. Now, with increasing international demand for protein, it's becoming even more critical to world food production. However, modern livestock production presents challenges. Protecting animals from disease is a concern. Enhancing livestock productivity must be balanced with care for the animal's welfare. Biotechnology contributes to our ability to keep livestock healthy and productive. Biotechnology involves the use of the natural processes found in microorganisms, plants and animals. It has unlocked many of the mysteries of the genetic make-up of animals. It has also expanded our understanding of disease, immune responses and other body functions in livestock. Protecting Animal Health Biotechnology can enhance or protect animal health in a number of ways. For example: Livestock nutrition has been improved through better diet formulations and the addition of feed enzymes to aid digestion. Carefully timed feeding of special diets or feed supplements improves disease resistance.

IFPRI Home 2020 Vision 2020 Vision Resources Catalog 2020 Focus ... 2020 Focus 2: Biotechnology for Developing-Country Agriculture: Problems and Opportunities 2020 Focus 2 (Biotechnology for Developing-Country Agriculture: Problems and Opportunities), Brief 1 of 10, October 1999 OVERVIEW Gabrielle J. Persley and John J. Doyle Today, almost a billion people live in absolute poverty and suffer from chronic hunger. Seventy percent of these individuals are farmers—men, women, and children—who eke out a living from small plots of poor soils, mainly in tropical environments that are increasingly prone to drought, flood, bushfires, and hurricanes. Crop yields in these areas are stagnant and epidemics of pests and weeds often ruin crops. Livestock suffer from parasitic diseases, some of which also affect humans. Inputs such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides are expensive, and the latter can affect the health of farm families, destroy wildlife, and contaminate water courses when used in excess. The only way families can grow more food and have a surplus for sale seems to be to clear more forest. Older children move to the city, where they, too, find it difficult to earn enough money to buy the food and medicine they need for themselves and their young children. As these detrimental social and environmental changes are occurring in the developing world, a revolution in biotechnology and associated information technology is improving the health, well-being, and lifestyle of the privileged and creating more wealth in a few rich countries. Can this revolution also be harnessed to serve the food and nutrition needs of the world's poor? What are the opportunities, problems, and risks involved with the new technologies and can they be managed? The last question is particularly pressing in light of the current controversy between the United States and the European Union over genetically modified foods. The benefits and risks of biotechnology weigh differently for food in areas of food surplus than they do for life-threatening diseases in those same areas.

Cattle husbandry extractive by nature I was born in California, was a resident for 47 years, and am a UC grad. I continue to have an interest and am grateful for issues of California Agriculture. Stephen Diliberto Miami, Oklahoma Lead author Barbara Allen-Diaz responds: Our results show that livestock grazing affects different components of the ecosystem differently. And, contrary to popular belief, our data shows that some components, such as nitrate concentrations in spring waters, actually increase with removal of livestock grazing, while biodiversity, for example, is highest with low-intensity grazing. We leave it to readers to render their own opinions about livestock grazing in these systems; we only ask that the readers be informed about the different kinds of responses. We continue to conduct, expand and learn from research in these systems. Biotech knowledge affects understanding It has been difficult to be patient with all of the doubters, especially when their doubts are based on ignorance. Readers of this new publication may still be doubters, but they will now have the knowledge to affect their understanding.
