Biotechnology as any technique that used living organisms to make or modify a product, to improve plants or animals or to develop microorganisms for specific uses. The book focuses on the development and application of animal biotechnology and genetic engineering based on new enabling techniques of animal tissue culture, genetic and protein engineering, enzyme and recombinant DNA technology, gene cloning, human and animal health, production of antimicrobial drugs, the general manipulation of genes by selective breeding and techniques, etc. The book is intended for under-and post-graduate students of pure and applied sciences and also for non-specialists in other disciplines who wish to understand animal biotechnology and genetic engineering.
