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.

BARBARA P. GLENN, Ph. D. EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT – SCIENTIFIC LIAISON FEDERATION of ANIMAL SCIENCE SOCIETIES On Behalf of the Federation of Animal Science Societies BEFORE THE FDA PUBLIC MEETING ON “BIOTECHNOLOGY IN THE YEAR 2000 AND BEYOND” Docket No. 99N-4282 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS November 18, 1999 Commissioner Henney, and members of the Food and Drug Administration Listening Panel, thank you for giving the Federation of Animal Science Societies the opportunity to provide comments today on the scientific and safety issues of livestock feeds derived from plants developed using biotechnology techniques. I am Dr. Barbara Glenn, Executive Vice President – Scientific Liaison, Federation of Animal Science Societies. I have conducted research in the area of protein and energy metabolism by dairy and beef cattle for production of milk and meat. I am an expert in the use of numerous feeds by cattle including digestion and absorption of nutrients for milk production and growth. The Federation of Animal Science Societies (FASS) is a professional organization made up of approximately 10,000 scientists in academia, government and industry which exists to serve society through the improvement of all aspects of food animal production. FASS represents the combined membership of the American Dairy Science Association, the American Society of Animal Science, and the Poultry Science Association.

Should the age-old practice of cross-breeding be put out to pasture? Explore more about ways genetic engineering can be used to make the most of livestock. Traditional Biotechnology Uses Breeding for the best of the best has always been the goal for farmers. The best milk producers, the porkiest pigs, the meatiest cows. Farmers rely on cross-breeding to achieve those goals. Cross-breeding is a way to bring together, and pass along, the most desirable genes and traits. It's a mainstay technique of traditional biotechnology. Modern Biotechnology Uses Genetic engineering, a modern form of biotechnology, creates a whole new way to ensure the best genes are "passed" along. Through techniques like cloning and recombinant DNA , the genetic makeup of livestock can be copied or even changed.

Animal Science majors in the Ratcliffe Hicks School of Agriculture (RHSA) receive both theoretical and hands-on education in the management of livestock, dairy cattle, poultry and horses. Students interested in dairy or livestock production concentrate on the influence of genetics, physiology, nutrition, and health on the economic production of animals. Courses are designed to maintain a balance between theoretical and practical aspects of animal production. Species studied include dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, swine, poultry and horses. The Associate of Applied Science degree program allows students to select from a variety of animal science and related courses. Formal and informal learning settings offer students the opportunity to design a unique educational experience, with exposure to all aspects of the industry. Students work directly with animals on campus, and may also choose to pursue off-campus work experience or internship opportunities in production or related enterprises. The Dairy/Livestock program in the Ratcliffe Hicks school is offered by the Department of Animal Science . The department undertakes comprehensive teaching, research and outreach activities.

Sapporo Livestock Production More Efficient With Biotech, Asserts Expert Biotech produces healthier animals, reduced waste, he says By Terry D. Etherton Distinguished Professor of Animal Nutrition, The Pennsylvania State University Livestock feed derived from biotechnology has been shown to increase production efficiency, decrease animal waste and lower the toxins that can cause sickness in animals, asserts Terry Etherton, distinguished professor at The Pennsylvania State University. Genetically modified feed also can improve water and soil quality by reducing levels of phosphorous and nitrogen in animal waste. INTRODUCTION Over the past 20 years, biotechnology has lead to the development of new processes and products that have benefited agriculture and society. Between 1996 and 2002 there was a 35-fold increase in acreage planted globally with genetically modified (GM) crops, from 1.7 to 58.1 million hectares, and more than a quarter of GM crops are grown in developing countries. While there has been considerable discussion about the benefits of GM crops in the grains and fruits humans consume, less public debate has been forthcoming about GM crops' profound effects on improving the health of livestock grown for meat products and on reducing some of the environmental costs of livestock wastes.

Despite the hot topic of biotechnology and its repercussions in our life, it is not a new science. Over 2,000 years ago, Egyptians used early-stage biotechnology to produce pest- resistant and weather-hardy crops. More recently, life-enhancing insulin was discovered through biotechnology. Common applications of biotechnology: Agriculture and livestock : Biotechnology is used in crops and livestock to yield more food and to resist diseases. Disease application : Biotechnology research is making substantial advancements in the areas of diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer treatments, to name just a few. Wine and beer making : The fermenting process used in wine and beer making is a rudimentary form of biotechnology. Environmental : Biotechnology is used in treating toxic waste and environmental disasters. DNA and forensic science : Biotechnology is used to track down criminals, and identify victims of crime.
