EDITORIALS Agriculture...It's more than cows and plows Gothenburg Times April 13, 2004 From oxen and horses drawing equipment down a field to tractors with on-board computers and the power of up to 300 horses, American farmers have increased their production capacity to keep up with the ever expanding population. In fact, one farmer now supplies food for more than 130 people in the United States and abroad compared with just 25.8 people in 1960. All Americans are asked to enjoy and admire the wonders of American agriculture as National Agriculture Day is celebrated on March 20. The efficiency of American farmers pays off in the price American consumers pay for food as well. Research indicates that most Americans have to work about 40 days to generate enough income to pay for their food supply for a year. It takes nearly 129 days to generate enough money to pay federal, state and local taxes for the year. The ability to keep food costs down is greatly due to improved crop and livestock genetics through biotechnology and conventional breeding. Biotechnology is a key factor in the efficiency of American farmers and their ability to provide more, higher quality food and livestock. Biotechnology provides benefits similar to traditional plant and livestock breeding, but does so in a more controlled environment and with faster results. Many consumers today enjoy tastier fruits and vegetables that keep fresh longer because of biotechnology and plant breeding.

Ten Points to Introduce Biotechnology I. Biotechnology creates living things. It is not like any other technology—automobiles, nuclear energy, computers, or satellite telecommunication. II. Transgenic biotechnology creates living things that would not be alive otherwise—salmon with human and chicken genes, tobacco with firefly genes, potatoes with pesticides—launching a new order of artifice that is distinctly different from the bits of paper, plastic, or aluminum cans we pick up as trash on the sides of roads and recycle. These new life forms will interact as living things do within the living world—give off pollen and roots, swim, fly, run, mate, multiply, eat, be eaten, die, and decompose. These inventions will be subject to the same systems of values and rights as all living things. This issue of Wild Duck Review is devoted to an introduction of biotechnology and to people speaking with localist knowledge and perspective across science, literature, theology, ecology, and activism. As you will note, David Loy and Catherine Keller refer to “a world of made and a world of born” in their essays— language borrowed from e.e. cummings’ line, “A world of made, is not a world of born.” I posed to each of them the following question: “Beyond critiquing biotechnology’s radical objectification and commodification of life, how would you articulate the moral questions before us of human privilege, life processes, and creation? Are we at a crossroads of a world of born vs. a world of made?”

65. Animal Science Study Options - Oklahoma State University biotechnology. Modern livestock production does now, and will continue,to utilize biotechnology in many forms. Trained professionals 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.

This response is submitted on behalf of the UK Government and the Scottish Executive. We welcome the publication of ‘Animals and Biotechnology’ and thank members of the AEBC for their hard work in producing this report. The AEBC have chosen a very sensitive topic for their second report - Animals and Biotechnology. We welcome the AEBC’s early look at these issues and consider that the AEBC report provides a welcome contribution to the wider debate on GM issues. A copy of this letter goes to Robin Cook, SCI(BIO), Sir John Krebs, Professor David King, Ross Finnie and Mike German. Sincerely Margaret GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO ANIMALS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY: A REPORT BY THE AEBC This document sets out the Government’s response to the recommendations of the Agriculture and Environment Biotechnology Commission’s report ‘Animals and Biotechnology’ Introduction: Government set up the Agriculture and Environment Biotechnology Commission (AEBC) in 2000 to look at social and ethical issues relating to the developments in biotechnology which have implications for agriculture and the environment and to provide strategic advice to Government on this important policy area. Its first report ‘Crops on Trial’ was published in September 2001. In this its second report it has taken a strategic look at the issues associated with animals and biotechnology and investigated the regulatory system to see if it could cope with future developments in GM and cloned animals in agriculture and the environment.

67. Biotechnology Of Aging One of the hottest developments in biotechnology of both livestock and humansis somatotropin or growth hormone, a new genetically engineered protein. http://www.ag.uiuc.edu/~vista/html_pubs/irspsm91/aging.html

Biotechnology of Aging Keith W. Kelley It's exciting when scientists can apply what they learn from fundamental research on livestock to important medical problems of humans. One of the hottest developments in biotechnology of both livestock and humans is somatotropin or growth hormone, a new genetically engineered protein. As yet, growth hormone has not received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the animal food chain. However, recombinant human somatotropin, which received FDA approval in October 1985, is being used to treat about 15,000 children in the United States who were born with a deficiency of growth hormone. With treatment, these children may grow up to four inches per year. In 1989, worldwide sales of somatotropin exceeded $300 million. Somatotropin has generated much excitement and concern about other potential clinical uses. Somatotropin may help control obesity in middle-aged humans, reverse some aspects of the aging process, improve wound healing in burn patients, augment the physical abilities of athletes, and both improve growth rate and reduce carcass fat in domestic food or animals. The New England Journal of Medicine reported in 1990 that giving somatotropin to men between 61 and 81 years of age increased lean body mass and reduced body fat. Unfortunately, the long-term effects on human or animal health are not yet known, but somatotropin is known to affect several activities of cells of the immune system.

Biotechnology And Agriculture While looking at agriculture with regards to biotechnology , three main parts are of great interest: these are plant, food and animal biotechnology Plant biotechnology Seeds, tissues or plant cells can be manipulated genetically, transformed and then regenerated into a whole plant. New plants can also be created by integrating into a plant's DNA a new DNA that will become a permanent part of the plant: the final product is called a " transgenic " plant. But in all cases, natural characteristics are being altered or new characteristics are being added to make plants more desirable. Many plants have already been genetically manipulated: some examples are tomatoes, potatoes, soybeans , carrots, canola, corn , rye, beets, alfalfa, rice , sunflowers, pears, apples, and cabbage. Sophisticated plant breeding methods are also generating many new varieties of agronomically important plants. Plant biotechnology is certainly a growing sector; according to the Biotechnology Industry Organization, in 1996, over six million acres of land worldwide were planted with genetically engineered plants for commercial use. More than 15 genetically engineered agricultural products already are on the market and many more can be expected in the next three to six years. (Barnum, 1998). Application of plant genetic engineering Crop improvement Research on crop improvement has focused until now on agronomic traits for controlling insects

Roslin has active programmes in the genetic modification of livestock, chickens and mice. Until recently genetically modified cattle, sheep and pigs could only be made by directly injecting new DNA sequences into a fertilised egg. Such pro-nuclear injection is inefficient and gives no control over where in the chromosome the introduced gene is integrated. Often multiple copies are introduced and both these factors cause highly unpredictable levels of expression. Importantly pro-nuclear injection can only add genes.

These nine biotech centersBoston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, San Diego, San Fran cisco, Seattle, and Washington-Baltimoreare leaders because they have two elements deemed necessary for industry growth: strong research capacity and the ability to convert research into successful commercial activity. While describing intense activity on two coasts, the report leaves the impression of little activity in between. But this is changing. There is much more to say about the biotech and life sciences industries in the Midwest. And people in the know are starting to listen.

The symposium, to be held on September 26, 2002, will follow a two-day symposium being held by the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology entitled "Biotech in the Barnyard: Implications of Genetically Engineered Animals." Both symposia will be held at the Adolphus Hotel, 1321 Commerce Street, Dallas, Texas. The goal of the animal cloning symposium is to provide a forum for an exchange of perspectives among the various stakeholders in animal cloning, including both brief presentations and moderated question and answer sessions. Perspectives will be shared from companies that make and sell clones, animal producers, processors, retailers, and consumers of foods derived from clones. Only cloning intended to copy animals that are not genetically engineered will be considered at the symposium, as genetic engineering in animals is the subject of the preceding two-day meeting.
