| Description: |
A 2007 symposium addressed the science, industry, politics and general public welfare regarding livestock biotechnology. This book draws from the proceedings of that symposium and covers an array of theoretical, applicative and ethical topics. |
| Synopsis: |
Upcoming applications of genetic engineering in farm animals include higher yields, leaner meat, or disease resistance. The proceedings cover an analysis of the state of the art of the technology and its applications, an introduction to the specific application zoopharming (a method to produce biopharmaceuticals in transgenic livestock), including an analysis of the market for biopharmaceuticals. In addition an assessment of ethical aspects of livestock biotechnology and considerations regarding animal welfare implications are covered. The study is addressed to science, industry and politics. |
