Techniques have been developed to introduce specific genes from one species into the
germplasm of another, including livestock. This paper reviews reports on evaluation …

Having created a founder transgenic animal, further development and application in
commercial livestock populations follows four major components:(1) testing of transgene …

Transgenic research usually involves a large investment in carrying out a series of low-
efficiency steps to produce a few transgenic founder animals, and then characterizing a …

The introduction of specific genes into the genome of farm animals and its stable
incorporation into the germ line has been a major technological advance in agriculture …

The introduction of foreign DNA into the genome of livestock and its stable integration into
the germ line has been a major technical advance in agriculture. Production of transgenic …

Recent advances in molecular biology and reproductive technology have generated the
possibility to create transgenic livestock. Applications of transgenesis in farm animals …

The last quarter-of-a-century has witnessed a rapid advance in the application of genetic
engineering techniques to increasingly complex organisms, from bacteria and yeasts to …

The improvement of animal production by transgenesis is expected to be complementary to
other breeding techniques including genetic selection (by conventional methods and using …

The notion of directly introducing new genes or otherwise directly manipulating the genotype
of an animal is conceptually straightforward and appealing because of the speed and …

This paper addresses the context of decisions about the application of biotechnology in
livestock agriculture. It specifically addresses the role of transgenic livestock in agriculture …
