Product title : | Biotechnology applications in animal health and production |
![]() |
Author(s) : | A.A. MacKenzie; Ed.: 2005 | |
Summary :Some of the most promising applications of biotechnology are in the field of animal health and production, in areas such as assisted reproduction, increased disease resistance, nano-based diagnostic and ‘smart’ treatment delivery systems, increasingly improved vaccines and refined diagnostic techniques.However, it is essential that this new technology be thoroughly assessed and implemented in a responsible manner. This Review identifies national, regional and international policies, institutions and regulatory frameworks, and discusses the role of international standard-setting bodies, in particular the World Organisation for Animal Health(OIE). |
