Product Description
Transgenesis involves injecting foreign genetic material into an animal's own genetic material to either produce specific, economically significant traits or restructure the animal's biochemical systems so that it produces certain economically attractive molecules such as recombinant proteins or pharmaceuticals. This book details the techniques necessary for the production of transgenic animals and the industrial application of these techniques. ... Read more

Product Description
The animal sector of agriculture has undergone major changes in the last several decades, a fact that has drawn the attention of policymakers and the public. In particular, organisational changes within the industry to enhance economic efficiency have resulted in larger confined production facilities that often are geographically concentrated. Increased facility size and regional concentration of livestock and poultry operations have, in turn, given rise to concerns over the management of animal wastes from these facilities and potential impacts on environmental quality, public health and welfare. This book reviews some of the current laws and legislative issues regarding animal agriculture. Moreover, the authors of this book discuss the application of biotechnology to improve productivity, consistency, and quality; to introduce new food, fibre and medical products; and, to protect the environment. This book relies on farm-level data to detail the nature, causes, and effects of structural changes in livestock production. ... Read more
