Animal Biotechnology is a specialized domain within biotechnology that leverages molecular biology techniques for the genetic modification of animals. The primary goal is to optimize their traits for pharmaceutical, agricultural, or industrial purposes. This application extends to the creation of genetically modified animals with improved growth rates, disease resistance, and the ability to produce therapeutic proteins. Utilizing advanced genetic and cellular methodologies, Animal Biotechnology encompasses genetic engineering, cloning, and reproductive technologies, contributing significantly to advancements in agriculture, medicine, and conservation.
However, the field faces ethical, legal, and societal challenges, and these aspects are central to discussions at conferences. These gatherings provide a platform for experts to engage in discussions, exchange cutting-edge research, and present a visionary outlook for the future of Animal Biotechnology. Through these conferences, the narrative of the field unfolds, addressing both the potential benefits and the ethical considerations associated with genetical modifications in animals.
