Covers reproductive technologies; transgenic techniques; molecular genetics in animal selection; use of recombinant proteins for growth, lactation and reproduction; immunological modulation of animal production; improvement of feeds and rumen organisms; improvement of health. In addition, ethical and safety aspects will be considered. Emphasizes the application and impact of biotechnological techniques on animal production rather than the techniques themselves. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 4 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): Permission of the instructor; basic genetics and physiology courses are recommended.Note: Students who have credit for ANBI 470 may not take this course for credit.
