Animal Biotechnology

Animal biotechnology involves using scientific techniques to modify and enhance the characteristics of animals for various purposes, such as improving health, productivity, and wellbeing. This field includes genetic engineering, where DNA is altered to produce desired traits, and reproductive technologies, like cloning and artificial insemination. Applications range from developing disease-resistant livestock to creating animals with better growth rates or higher nutritional value. While it holds potential benefits for agriculture and medicine, animal biotechnology also raises ethical considerations and concerns about animal welfare, making it a topic of ongoing debate and research.
