Summary :Biotechnology has potential applications across a wide range of scientific disciplines and has the potential to have significant benefits for animal health. However, it is essential that this new technology be thoroughly assessed and implemented in a responsible manner, taking into account issues such as the preservation of germplasm and public concerns about animal welfare. The appropriate development and regulation of biotechnology-derived animals and products clearly necessitates a cooperative approach among the relevant professionals. This will mean collaboration not only among scientists involved in multi-disciplinary research projects, but also among risk assessors and regulatory officials involved in animal health expert committees and international standard-setting bodies such as the OIE. | |
